Hen repeatedly straining with bulge behind vent, but it's not an egg?

UPDATE: This morning she was still not doing very good, but she was a little better than the night before. This afternoon when I went to collect eggs and let everyone out to free range, she was acting a lot better!!! She's acting pretty close to normal, her comb and wattles are getting their color back, and she was scratching and pecking along with the other hens! There's a lot of dried diarrhea on her backside fluff, but other than that, she looks normal. I wasn't able to catch her to get a closer inspection (yesterday she was easy to catch), but from a distance her rear end looks fine (no bulge or anything). I watched her for fifteen minutes and she never strained. I didn't do anything for her, but maybe she's on the road to recovery!
