My hen seemingly had a prolapsed vent, I freaked out, did research and was mentally preparing for what I had to do, before I was going to do that I was going to show my mom, but by that time she had sucked it back in?
Is she fine?? Why did this happen in the first place??
She's a polish, 11 months old

Can you go back out and get a clearer picture?

What do you feed and when was the last time she laid an egg?
Laid an egg at 1pm CET (4 hours ago)
Feed consists of layer pellets, corn, grain, sunflower seeds and probably something more, I'll check and be back in a minute

Stop everything but the layer pellets. Today.

She barely has any butt feathers due to Mallophagas which we've had recently, but it's been 2 weeks since we got rid of them
 
But like I said, the first picture is what I saw, I researched it and saw it matched a prolapsed vent, I separated her as I went to tell my parents about the situation and all (and mentally preparing myself for what I had to do..), my mom wanted to see so we opened the coop, turned her around and she was fine with nothing sticking out
