A Lash

No... not S&M  but one of these:



I've never seen one of these in the flesh so to speak.  But I'm sure some of you who have kept hens for years know about them.

Sometimes passed from the reproductive system.  I think they could be a bit of tumor tissue the hen needs to get rid of - but that is just a guess on my part.  

I have a number of hen keeping friends who have experienced this and I can never find any published information.  
Any one know what they really are :?:

Thanks Munty.  I knew you would have come across this before.  The hens I know are pets of cause, so egg production is not the main reason for keeping them.  I'll ask around and find out how affected hens had done afterwards.  Many thanks  

Lovely, logged before brekkie but don't fancy any now!!

I am sure this will be good in the long run as I win't have an attack should I now see this in my run, but how horrible is that :-(

hi, what are these?

 what are what kizza ?  

its the internal part of the chicken that has detached from the egg tract  as explained  

no it came out because the chicken  is poorly  and had this fall away from its intestinals . bit like a detached womb lining in women i guess
