I would try a warm bath to try to relax her, followed by a day or so in a darkened place by herself. You might look up eggbound and internal laying. Hopefully an egg broke inside her and she will be able to pass the pieces without serious harm. I would probably also squirt a little Preparation H inside her vent, just in case it might help move things along. I have done this very easily with a syringe (without needle, of course.)
