Have one hen with what looks like intestines hanging out. Was in coop all day. Was ok yesterday...very hot here last 3 days..
Another that has been laying down cant seem to walk.. has pale look to her.
Please help have 3 other hens that seem fine!!
 
Move the hen that has intestines hanging out so she's not picked on. It sounds like a prolapsed vent, but you need to access the damage and please take some photos so we can see it.

As for your other hens, are they locked inside a coop with hot temperatures, do they have shade, access to cool water?

I agree on the prolapsed vent. You need to seperate her preferably inside to prevent flystrike. You can use a little preparation H and see if you can push it back in. Is a vet a possibility?
