I have an eggbound hen in the bathtub right now in warm water. she's laid one egg,but still looks swollen. Does she have more eggs in there that need to come out?
 
you should take the hen and hold her in the warm water for a couple of hrs putting warm water in at times to reheat the water
add 1/2 cup of epsom salts to the warm water
it will cause her to relax

then dry her off and insert a eye dropper of olive oil in each side of the vent
like three times
as this will help the hen drop the egg

then push on the back of the body above the vent to bring down the egg

when you see the egg then take a large darning needle and poke several holes in the shell
then take a needle on a syringe and draw out the egg yolk and white
and then with a large tweezers pull ALL OF THE SHELL OUT

then put more olive oil in the vent. hope this helps
