Can anyone tell me what I can do without pulling the eggs out? This is the first Ive seen do this and Im clueless!
 
first give 1/2 -1 unflavored tums disolved in water. then warm (not hot) bath, while massaging tummy toward vent.....lube vent with olive oil, and keep her isolated and warm. You can wrap with a towel and/or blow dry warm (not hot), just remember to check air temp with your hand now & then so as not to burn your chicken.

Repeat bath as necessary for comfort of hen.

eta: spelling correction
