I just noticed my chickens bottom looks like this and it looks like she’s trying to poop but can’t. She hasn’t seemed sick previously. Is she egg bound?

I soaked her bottom in salt water and can feel/see an egg right there. She hasn’t layed all winter and spring is really just started here (Atlantic Canada). After I washed her bum off she pooped right away but she still looks A bit prolapsed and maybe infected? The poop on her was rock hard and crusted to her skin.
