Honey or any strong sugar solution is supposed to help by drawing water out of the tissue. It is 'hypertonic' compared to the tissue, so can shrink swollen edematous tissue. It can help with moist/fluid permeable tissues. Haven't really seen this in action myself, but that is the basic concept.
The GI tract and the reproductive tract are separate tracts inside the chicken, but they open into a dual purpose area that will hold feces as well as an egg prior to leaving the body. So there is only one exit, but two entrances. I don't know what part is prolapsed, or what part got cut to get to the egg, or what is sticking out- but the longer it is out, the less healthy it will get.
If she is able to pass normal feces, this is a good sign. If she cannot, this is a very bad sign.
If you can get her to a vet, they can help determine if the tissue is infected, viable, and what is actually prolapsed. If the tissue is dying, or if there is not a normal opening into her reproductive tract, you will likely need to make a hard but needed decision to end her life. If it can be reduced and stay put for 24 hrs, and she heals- she may do ok. Sadly though, most severe prolapsed birds do not survive- they did this because there was something underlying wrong with them, as well as the delicate tissue cannot survive long outside of the body.
Spaying a female bird is a very complicated surgery (not like a cat/dog spay), most GP vets won't touch these, and a boarded avian vet would talk about high mortality rates for the surgery before attempting it. If successful, it would keep her from laying, but it does not address the damaged tissue that is prolapsed- that is her primary problem.
I hope she does ok, but be prepared for a sad outcome, jess
