Other than the squatting, is your hen possessing any other out-of-the-ordinary behaviour?
Also, does the discharge have a foul odour?

I believe that squatting occurs for hens that are about to come in to lay. However, the discharge is not a sign that she is egg-bound (egg-bound symptoms include a hen who refuses to leave the nesting box, generally reluctant to move).
Based on what you have said, I think your hen may have vent gleet, which is a yeast infection. Yogurt is often used to treat the problem.

Symptoms of vent gleet:

• Typical offensive odour
• Soiled vent feathers and slimy discharge coming from vent area.
• Straining to defaecate.

I would suggest removing her from the flock and feeding her yogurt.

Please take a look at the sources for more information.

Passing manure is a very good sign. She could have any number of things wrong with her (or, if she's back to her usual behavior and eating and drinking, she might be fine!) Possibly an egg broke inside of her. Possibly she has an infection. If it's vent gleet it will be stinky. I suggest that you do my "spa treatment" which is an epsom salt soak and a few other things. This often sets a hen right. http://hencam.com/faq/the-spa-treatment/
