It looks more like her vent was pecked by the other chickens. I would give her a daily soak to clean off her vent area, and apply some bad tasting ointment such as BenGay, Bag Balm, or Vicks to keep the others from pecking her. It might be best to isolate her for a few days in a dog crate or pen with food and water. A prolapse usually involves the internal red tissue sticking outside of the vent. That can attract pecking as well. Your hen looks more like her vent is swollen. You can insert a finger in there an inch or two with one finger, just to feel for a hard stuck egg.

Can you take her to a vet?

Hi, my favorite hen had that a few years ago. We kept her in a bin in the house and gave her warm baths every hour. Also water with electro lights helps. It took about a week but then she was back to normal. Hope this helps!

FIRST: You are going to want to wash her up and clean the poop off.
Epsom salt soak should help to clean her.
