Hen with a Vent Problem

[TK Poultry]

i have a bantam hen that has been laying for the last few days a good size egg and i went to put vapor rub on her chin because she and her flock mates have a feather picking, and she had this red bubble thing protruding out of her vent! does that mean that she is egg bound?

It sounds more like prolapse than eggbound. Here are a few threads , with pics. The first thread also links to other threads on prolapse.
