This is a medical issue I have never been faced with, until now. I took in two love birds recently and GreenJeans laid 1 egg late tuesday. Just 1. Previous owner told me they both lay eggs all the time. I knew this was coming because they have been flying around gathering paper. I peeked in on the nest today and still just one egg. Inspection of her vent appears that there is still an egg in there. Cannot see the egg just swelling, no discoloration. about the same size of the egg that is in the nest. She seems okay. She is flying around, have not witnessed a lot of feeding activity. She is perky, seems happy, no drifting, she is not Lethargic in any way. Her flight is a little heavy but she manages it well. How long does it take to get them out? Is it just swelling from passing the egg? Do I have a problem here? Pheonix where are you. 
The egg will not hatch. It is sterile. The question is EGG BINDING. THANKS!
I am over 200 miles from an available Avian Vet. I realize what should be done. But I would like to know if I am flipping out for nothing.
And I just oiled up her but. Thanks.

Bottom line is the bird is doing much better than I am worrying about her right now.
