Bloody feathers around vent

[Stoney Meadow Maple]

One of my Pekins , Scuba, tends to get crappy looking feathers and a messy vent anyway, yesterday I noticed the feathers around her vent looled bloody, no stains in the house I could see, no one picking on her and she was acting her normal self. Today it warmed up enough to get a pool filled, with a little bath time she cleaned up ok and seems happy, no more noticeable blood, no one is yet laying eggs either.
I had been thinking to spray with blue kote, but some reading finds that it’s harmful to preening waterfowl, is there anything i can use? Should i be using any?

Further research suggests prolapsed vent, i am going to attempt to push it back and apply vasaline , unless perhaps I should use bag balm?

it is for sure a prolapse? Vaseline or Ky jelly both work fine

Well, it had a little bit of pink poking out, about the size and shape of a piece of used bubble gum.
When i pushed it back it poped back out, then when I pushed it in and worked it around a little bit, it seemed to pop inside out, the whole thing was maybe as big as my fingertip to the first knuckle. It was a lot like getting your glove finger turned right side out after pulling it off.
Seemed to stay in after that. I then buttered her bottom with vasaline and sent her on her way.
I also now have to deal with a bumble on her foot, but i was loosing light and she didnt seem to be slowed down by it so I figured one crisis a day was enough for her.

Be sure to check first thing in the morning that it stayed in, you don't want that tissue to dry out. Kind of weird she would prolapse and not be laying. Not that it hasn't happened before but not the norm.

I haven’t seen this before, but as I said, she’s a bit of a mess when the water is frozen. Havent found any eggs from anyone

I can imagine being white. Mine went for over a month without swimming water except for the baths they got from the water buckets they were quite dingy looking

How is Scuba today?

How is Scuba today?

Acting normal when i let her out, and looked like her vent was ok, clean at least. Petroleum jelly is amazing, we use it on the baby too, like spraying her with PAM, nothing sticks. Operation bumblefoot launches tonight
