our chicken is egg-bound and egg has broken inside her vent

Hi - I entered a "new post" under introductions - but I really need immediate help with one of my girls - she is a Black Austrolorp, very swollen abdomen, but has been eating and drinking fine. I have brought her up to my house and given her 2 treatments of hot-water bath for 15 minutes, also powdered up tums with some water in a syringe...so far she has been able to poop twice (while in a box in the bathroom) but when I checked inside her vent with a glove and personal jelly, I could not feel an egg...what else can I do to help her? thanks!
Tamar, you would be better off getting help for your hen by starting a new thread here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures.10/ Click on the blue box at the top where it says, "post new thread".
