Same one you posted about earlier this week?

It's very hard to see where that is located, I tried to lighten the photo a bit -
Is that below her vent?
Is the skin starting to split?
When did she last lay an egg?
Can you get someone to help you photograph her in a better light?
Have you showed your parents the problem with your chicken - what do they think?

She may have swelling from reproductive issues, it could be from a wound or a number of other things.
I would spray that with Vetericyn spray if it's a wound/the skin is splitting.
Does that feel like it has fluid in it?

It's pretty solid, it's above and to the right of her vent. The skin I splitting

It's above the vent? Like on her side?
Is vet care an option?

If the skin is splitting, then you would want to try to treat it to make sure it's not getting infected. Vetericyn spray or triple antibiotic ointment may help.

More photos that are clear and in good lighting, also of the whole hen so we can better tell where that's located may be helpful too.
 
It looks like there may have been some pecking, but it is hard to see the vent clearly in the picture. It would be bood to see if there might be a prolapsed. Here is what one looks like:
