Is this the end of her tail becoming necrotic or does she have a growth?

It may be a prolapsed vent. Can you bring her inside where it is warm and give her a warm soak in water with either Epsom salts, or soapy water? Try to clean off any poop or crust. Her vent area looks bulging, so check to see if she is egg bound or just constipated with dried up droppings blocking her vent. If possible, take a picture of the cleaned up vent. Dry her with a hair dryer.

She’d been soaking for about 30 minutes before these pictures. Should we keep her inside tonight?
 
Here is a picture where you can see her vent more clearly. The part above the vent appears to be fuzzy with feathers stuck in it which appears to be the end of her tail becoming necrotic. Nothing appears prolapsed though.

Is she able to poop? Can you see yet if it is a prolapse or something else? Any more pictures? Here are pictures of a typical prolapse and one that may include an egg inside:
