Could be an egg that is stuck, if she is laying. I would maybe consult a vet on that one. You don't want her to suffer.

Can egg bound kill chickens?

It does not need to. You can help her if you are not squeamish. The hen must be in a safe warm, quiet area away from the other hens. If you have help, have someone hold the hen with her vent facing you and liberally but very carefully spread Vaseline or other similar produce around and inside her vent. This must be done with care as you do not want to break the egg inside her. Let her rest and she will lay the egg within a few hours or overnight. Watch this hen for more egg binding as she will be prone to doing this over and over.

If you mean the vent or the chickens cloaca where the egg comes out then you do not want to cure this. Moist cloaca is a sign of a healthy hen and it should always be "wet". A dry cloaca is a sure sign of either an old hen or a hen that is going to have problems laying eggs.
