Thanks for reaching out. Birds typically lay eggs first thing in the morning, therefore an egg laid in the evening is delayed. This could be due to illness, egg binding, malnutrition and other. The best answer is to see a veterinarian. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give support. Offering water through a syringe for hydration. If coelom (abdomen) is swollen, she still could be egg bound. Placing in a steamy bathroom for 5-10 minutes could help. Review diet as calcium deficiencies often play a part in egg binding, so dark leafy greens should be part of the diet. Good luck.
