Hens just started laying a couple months ago.something wrong with vent?

No, it doesn't look very good, sometimes with a prolapse, the white urates seem to accumulate, stick and even harden to the tissue almost like a scab. Just keep it all moist and covered with your ointment/oil, this is very important. As she heals, the crust material will usually fall away, but keeping it moist will help with that.

Her not pooping much is, however, a concern. The prolapse may be partially blocking the intestine, but hopefully this will resolve as well. Her drinking a lot, she may be trying to pass stool, just keep watch on that. Continue with the calcium which will help with retention and if she's got another egg on the way, hopefully she'll be able to pass it on out.

Keep us posted.
She’s still alive and wonders around outside when I let her but her vent still doesn’t look very nice.

For now, You'll have to continue to clean her up several times a day and tend to the vent.
Make sure flies are not getting to the vent, you sure don't want maggots to get started.
