I’m pretty sure one of my girls are egg bound and im in need of advice. She laid 4 good eggs on 8-30 and I can visibly see she has more in her, I would guess 2-3. I’ve soaked her in warm water every day since for 30 minutes and tried palpating to try and work then down but doesn’t seem to be doing much. Vet is in the future if I exhaust everything else and can’t make any progress. Any help is much appreciated.

Those are still pretty high up there. =(
You can try giving her a swim in the bathtub. Pretty much the same as a soak just bigger. Don’t leave her alone and don’t fill it too high. If she starts to seem stressed, take her out. Hopefully the motions help move the eggs a bit.
Otherwise, I’d take her in to the vet. She could have a twisted oviduct keeping them in place. The longer the eggs stay also means they’re more likely to adhere to the tissue there too. Any attempts to palpate them lower can get more risky over time because of tearing the oviduct or popping the egg and causing sepsis.
