Egg bound hen with two eggs

My friend needs help ASAP,she has a hen that she had to help a couple days ago with laying an egg IT WAS HUGE. Today she soked her and she layed one in the water and then layed two more.She said she can feel two more,she lubricated her with mineral oil but she has not passed the others yet.What is going on with this hen? Has anyone ever had this problem before.She is waiting for an answer.

HOLY COW! I've never heard of that!!! Poor hennie! I will keep her in my prayers. I would say keep doing warm soaks since she is passing them now, but definitely think a vet trip or at least call is warranted here. VERY unusual. Usually successive eggs are shell-less. I am baffled! Hopefully one of our gurus will know more.

Quick question: this is a chicken hen, right? I know some quail will lay multiple eggs on one day.
