Sometimes there is just one egg stuck in the vent but sometimes there are multiple eggs in there. If the hen can't pass the egg(s) then they die from the infection caused by the eggs rotting or they get cut up inside from the shards of the shell as it gets crushed by pressing on bones and such.

Our neighbor just had the same thing happen last week. He wanted to see if he could find any reason so he cut the dead bird open and found that she was severely egg bound. The hen didn't have any symptoms, was eating, acting normally.
