Emergency please help.

I've been forcing water down her. Now she is starting to eat some oyster shells and corn until i get moving to the store here in a minute. She seems much better though you can just really see her pushing hard. And she freaked out a little and I couldn't feel anything in there. It's been at least 12-14 hrs since the attack and she just passed the yoak. Should I be worried about this going overnight and her not making it. My plan is check her a couple more times before the evening. Would it have a chance of passing naturally? She doesn't seem shocked to where I was worried about her anymore just really grumpy trying to push.
And yes her neck does seem to be what's bothering her although it's nothing serious from what I see she is favoring the left side. And this is a stupid question I'm sorry but when you say chopped egg. Do you mean cooked yolk and all or the like egg shells crumbled up?
Thank you so much, by the way, it means alot.
 
Many find that chickens eat cooked egg very eagerly. I scramble some and chop it, while others give chopped boiled egg. They will usually eat tuna or some cooked meat or liver, as well. Do you feed a balanced chicken feed, such as layer pellets or crumble? That would be more healthy and more protein than corn. Since you didn’t feel any egg shell, she may have already passed it, or it could have been a shell-less egg with only a membrane. Let us know how she is doing.
 
Wow that is so smart. She loves treats so that would be great. I'll try that with tuna. I have a specific feed for them but i mix in corn because they love it and the oyster shells. She was being extremely picky just sifting through it. So I can't find evidence of the passing but her first two runny stools I found one had a membrany mucus like substance that was very thick along with it and the other just liquid. No blood either. I'll keep you guys posted. She's a tough bird surviving an owl latching on and also taking out her sisters and then going through all this. I was at work too so it happened and they had to sit through it for a few hours before I got home. Crazy stuff but yes once again thank you and I'll post updates in the morning.
 
I would put her in a quiet and dim room feed her scrambled eggs with molasses and get some warm water into her.

I had a hen who acted like this after a mink killed a bunch of my flock, she was in shock and to this day will start screeching and pecking at anything that comes near her in the dark.:hit
 
She's doing so much better everyone, thanks so much for the support and suggestions. It really helped. Her stools are much more solid and she is moving around with some energy. She even got up and went out and is slowly hanging out with the other chickens, I fed them all some eggs together and she munched down on them. A little bit traumatic for her and a couple bumps but I think she's gonna be able to make it through.
 
Couple years ago a raccoon got in to my cousin's chicken coop..killed alll the hen's except one....she wouldn't go back into the coop.. instead she started sleeping on top of The AC .. Guess she felt safer being high up
