Can you see it? Like it is half in half out? You can give her a nice warm bath and let her soak and it might relax her enough to let it out. You could also try to put your hand under her and massage towards the vent to gently work it out being careful not to break it.
 
It was fully out but it was held there by membrane I ended up cutting the membrane and the egg off she is better seems to be healing she is eating I havent seen her drink but she dosent drink much anyway.Hopeing for the best
 
i just had that happen to my little one people told to break the egg and get it out that way but nothing worked in the end she passed a way good luck with your stick her in warm water and try to push it out i wouldn't cut anything because thats is her insides i hear thats not a good thing, good luck hope it all works out
 
keep her separated from the others and in a darken place so she won't lay an egg fro a few days until she heals up. I would give her at least a week. give her some electrolyte solution in her water for added strenght
