Have 3 year old Plymouth Rock. Shows all signs of being egg bound. Have done the baths, calcium, but when examining up her vent I cannot feel any egg? What do I do next?

Poor dear!
Her stance says she's not feeling well. Is she any better?

I would get some calcium into her and make sure she's drinking well.
She is not egg bound. Had to go inside her vent and that resulted in some relief for her. May have had a bowel obstruction. She is eating some and been given calcium in water. Posture has improved. May put her back with flock when it warms up outside.
 
She may be having a hard time going.
I've found that hen's with reproductive problems often have some swelling/inflammation, tumors, etc. that slow the digestive system.
They can improve for a period of time, so I hope she does. If she's able to interact with her flock, that's even better.
