Welcome To BYC!
I'm sorry no one answered you.

How is your chick doing?
How warm are you keeping the chicks? If you have photos those may help (chicks, brooder, poop)

Screaming while pooping sounds like she's constipated. I would get her hydrated and have her eating wet mushy chick feed. You can give her a few bits of coconut oil to help with the constipation as well.

If the vent is prolapsing, watch to see if it's pasting over as well. Wash in warm water as needed and dry the chick well (you can use a hair dryer). A dab of anti-inflammatory cream, coconut oil or vaseline can be apply to the vent to help with swelling.
