You could do a search here for eggbound hen and might find some help with that. How do you know it's cracked? Is she leaking yolk? I think I saw a post just the other day addressing removing a broken egg from a hen.

I'd put her on some antibiotics right away for internal infection. Do you have any PenG around?

no but i can fell tiny pieces in her not far from her vent she has been like this for 2 weeks and walks with her butt close to the ground and i can her the pieces and its horrible to see her

and i dont have any around

Can you put on a rubber glove and lubricate it if needed, then insert a finger 1-2 inches into the vent while try to gently remove the pieces of shell? You my want to go get some antibiotics at the feed store, or call your vet and ask for some amoxicillin or baytril for your chicken. If your vet trusts you they may sell them to you without taking the chicken in.
