My sweet barred rock hen, about 1 1/2 years old has this squishy red lump under her vent. She acts normal, poops are fine, and she lays an egg almost daily. What is this?

We have a couple new to us hens (7 weeks old) and we haven't seen either take a dust bath. It's been colder out/not a lot of sun. Is this something that takes a little time for them to get comfortable
