Urates in feces is scalding her skin which causes redness and irritation. Wash off the feces and trim back fluff and feathers just a little. Apply Nu-Stock on the red irritated skin and it will heal it, apply as necessary and wear disposable gloves.

The missing feathers may be from feather picking, but I would clean off the stuck poop. You can pull off any dry, and if necessary, give her bottom a soapy bath and dry completely with towel and hairdryer. Trim any excess fluff, and look her over for lice or mites. Possibly take a new picture of her vent. Did you mean diatomaceous earth or DE?
