Is this her tail necrotic or is this some kind of growth or something

2nd pic looks like a plugged cloaca.

Well that is strange. I can see the vent in your picture, and it looks like some kind of coating or peeling dead skin over the vent. I would put some plain Neosporin or other antibiotic ointment, or at least some vaseline on the dead skin to moisten it. It would probably be good to repeat the soak again tomorrow, and try to soften then rub off some of the dead layer of skin.

Looks like a lot of Lice eggs to me. Likely poop may be mixed in too. I would treat her with a Permethrin based poultry spray or dust. Treat your other chickens and housing too - do this in 7 day increments.

Those clusters of eggs, apply some coconut oil, see if that will help soften them up so you can peel the gently away.

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:

I see nothing prolapsing. This is more what I’m worried about circled in black. There is poop on it but what is underneath looks necrotic. Which I fear is her tail.

I don’t see a prolapse either, but the beige skin that is above and below the vent opening, do you know if that is peeling skin?

I think that @Wyorp Rock is right that some of the white clumps that looked like frost, are probably lice eggs.

Will the poop come off in the circle? Does the beige skin seem like the top of her vent?

That area circled in back is my concern also. I’m going to do all of the above mentioned things.

Where are you located? Has it been very cold yet? Hopefully, this is just a little build up of crud back there, and she will be fine in a few days. Sometimes they can get pecked around the vent, and some hens can have vent gleet, a fungal infection. Glad that it wasn’t a prolapse. Let us know later if she is eating and drinking.

That is odd...looks like something attached to skin rather than skin/tissue itself.

She is eating and drinking. I gave her some cottage cheese with crushed oyster shell in it because initially I thought it was egg bound. Her abdomen is distended and she is sitting up tall like an owl and trying to contract something out at times. She ate that very quickly and wanted more. She is pooping also. I used permethrin dust around her vent also. Keeping her in a laundry basket in the house tonight.
