Egg Bound Hen - please advise - photos attached

I found this on a site:

5 drops of mineral oil or wheat oil into the vent

boil some water and add tea bag. Put her vent over the steam, do not get too close, it will burn her. That will relax her muscles.

Repeat every twenty minutes, until she passes the egg

The other way is to get a syringe with needle, puncture the egg, making very sure that you do not damage the membrane/thin liner. You must be able to see the egg. Once you puncture the egg, then suck out the yolk. You have to be very careful doing this, the egg without the yolk when crack can damage her insides.

You can give her an injection of calcium, works much faster than oral. They said this sometimes moves the egg out with the mineral oil alone.

Maybe someone else has done some research or has done something with their egg bound hen that can help you.
 
I was all ready to pop the egg if I saw it, but unfortunately it's not in sight yet. I haven't heard of injectable calcium. Where do you get that?
