I had the same thing happen last year with a first time bred Nelsoni - she laid 3 slugs 4 days prior to the rest of them. She was not stressed during that interval and the rest came out no problem. Try to be a bit patient here a few more days. If you can monotor her, make sure she gets water or keep her egg box real moist - it helps as noted in the previous post.
It is my opinion that if the eggs are together and near the vent she simply need more time. If they are not and are located up her body a bit then watch to see if they move down - if they don't, she may be bound. Try to hold off about 3-4 more days to see how she does. See if she gets stressed too - if she does, then it is getting time to step in..
As noted on the previous post, if you are so inclined, you can asperate (remove the egg stuff) the posterior egg with a syringe. If not, then call your local vet(s) to see if they are familiar with this procedure. I had a Corn 3 years ago become egg bound and our vet asperated 2 eggs - they passed within 48 hours.
Good Luck and let us know how it turns out...
