What the hell is this???
Our take
What in the world is this? Today, I stumbled upon something rather unsettling in the general free-range yard—a strange, jelly-like blob that looks like it might be filled with thin fluid or possibly a yolk. The oddity wasn’t nestled in a nesting box or any typical laying spot for my hens, which raises some eyebrows. I tried to identify it with Google Lens, but it suggested a decomposing buckeye fruit, and I’m pretty sure those aren’t around here. My best guess is that it’s some sort of egg—perhaps a lash egg? It’s definitely not hard or rubbery, just plain yucky. I could use some help unraveling this mystery! Any ideas? Thank you for your insights!
I found this laying in the general free range yard/pasture area today. It looks pretty gross, but it’s supper jelly or thin fluid filled and maybe that’s a yolk?
It wasn’t in or around a nesting box or where any of the hens would typically lay. I tried google lens and it was saying a decomposing buckeye fruit, but I don’t think there’s any of those on the property.
My assumption is it’s an egg of some sort. It might be a lash egg, but it’s not hard or rubbery at all. It could be a shell-less egg or some other ailment. Definitely yucky.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!
