Looks very much like vent gleet and prolapse . This article may be helpful:

https://www.bhwt.org.uk/hen-health/health-problems/vent-gleet/#:~:text=Vent gleet is the common,if kept with infected hens.

The article mentions washing the hen's bottom in Epsom salt and applying "canesten" cream, which I believe is the British equivalent of Monistat (or other antifungal/ yeast infection cream)...

Also, separate her from the flock immediately to prevent picking!
