I think I know what this is but didn't think I would have to deal with it ever. Its a BR Roo, probably about 10 to 12 weeks old. A red bubble the size of a small marble is sticking out its bum. Not sure what this might be in a roo. I had read some about prolapsed vents but that could not happen to a roo could it? It might be a pullet and why would this happen. Otherwise it seems healthy. It is now separated so I can observe.
I have looked up everything and may try honey ( would raw honey be bad because that is all I have) or sugar. I don't have preparation H at home is that needed. I do have stuff for diaper rash but I don't think that will work. Any other suggestions.
Ok so I washed its bum and the bubble went back in. Yay happy dance. Then I sat it down to take a pic of it and it pooped. And the bubble came right back out. sigh no more happy dance. So I tried to move a feather away to take a pic so I could post and get help and in that process it went back in. I am so confused. I don't even know if its a roo anymore. Potentially I suck at this.
Not a great pic but its just a little round red ball like a small marble. I hope I never become good at taking pics of chicken bums so please excuse the bad picture.

This is what it looks like when it goes back in. You can still see it but its in.
