How old is this chick?
What do you feed, including treats?
Please post some more photos of the whole chick and housing - Thanks!

Is her crop emptying overnight?
Hard to tell in photos, but would you agree that the abdomen below the vent seems to be swollen?

Looks like she may be constipated. I would make sure that she's drinking well. If you have poultry vitamins direct dose her. I would also give her 1/2-1 tsp coconut oil to see if that gets things moving.

Yes, and cleaning it under the warm water tab will help and bring some relief for the chick while holding it there for some 5 minutes with water gently flowing over the back and butt region. Towel dry and then blow dry carefully, so not to burn the little chick with too much heat. Often they will poop abundantly afterwards and the swelling will recede.
Feed it some pieces of chilled coconut oil to help flush out the rest.

This mostly happens when the brooder temperature is too high, so check again and provide some cooler space also, where the chicks can go if they get too warm.
