Marans hen in trouble, something hanging out of her vent

When they have this happen it's very hard for them to lay the egg, and it can make them feel unwell. I would probably go ahead and give her a calcium supplement for a few days, hopefully that will help and this will just be a glitch. Do they have access to oyster shell always as a calcium supplement? The needs can vary a lot from bird to bird and some will need more, some will need less. This time of year, as many birds come back into lay this can be a bit more common as their systems get spun back up. It can sometimes be an indication of a reproductive problem, but at one year old, hopefully that is not the case and it's just a glitch.
