Yes.It is called egg binding and it is the inability of the hen to pass an egg. The partially developed egg could have either a hard or soft shell, or no shell at all. This inability to pass the egg often results in the death of the hen.
There are ways to help the hen.
Separation from the flock to a quiet area where the bird can concentrate on the job at hand.
Extra calcium in her diet will not affect the offending egg but will help build muscle strength needed to expel the egg.
A water soluble calcium supplement is available.
A small amount of vegetable oil spread around the vent and just inside will help soften the mucus membranes and lubricate.

Where does the egg come out of when the hen is laying it?
Chickens lay eggs like this: Female Chicken meets male chicken. The two chickens express their love and an egg is "planted"in the female chickens bum. Later, she tries to poo, but instead comes out an egg. But seriously, folks: Female chickens (hens) lay eggs, regardless of the presence of a male chicken (rooster). If the avian love making is successful, the egg is fertilized and a chick can develop. Fertilized or not, all eggs are laid the same, through the oviduct. A hen will try to incubate all her eggs--not just the fertilized ones.
