Hi all - here's an update:
When I got home, she was out of the coop and walking around the barn normally - no penguin walk. Was trying to preen her feathers and actually acting really normal, except the liquid was really dripping and poopy too. My DH says he thinks she passed the egg but he wasn't sure. We brought her indoors, wrapped her in a towel, and bathed her back end over a bucket with warm water. The vent was raw, hard, cracked and slightly bleeding with alot of poop and kind of cheesy stuff built up. I cleaned her out the best I could; didn't want to over-do and hurt her because she started to bleed. Not to be too gross, but I did use a rubber glove and some vaseline just to see if I could feel anything stuck, but there was nothing. Didn't feel anything from the outside either. I used Preparation H as I read in another post to try to shrink some of the swelling, and put vaseline on too. We put her in a cage in the bathroom and she is eating and drinking. The dripping has slowed down and possibly even stopped by today, and I'll look again when I get home.
I didn't mention earlier because I totally forgot, but we have been finding eggs without shells - we call them jelly eggs - in the nesting boxes, and now we are assuming they are hers. We are adding calcium to her water so hopefully this will help too. Will keep you posted and thanks for the help.
Cindy
