She can live a long and healthy life is you know what to do to help her. If the egg is low in the vent lubricate your forefinger with mineral oil or KY Jelly and insert it into the vent. With your other hand push gently against the hens abdomen to carefully force the egg toward the vent. If the egg seems to be higher up you may need to apply extra warm humid conditions in a brooder box for a few hours. Temperature about 85F and a relative humidity of 70%. Allow her to rest. Another method for egg-bound hens is to put them in a sink filled with very warm water and hold her there for about half an hour. She will not like this but it works.
