is this a prolapsed vent on my rooster?

hey y'all, my silkie boy has been having some messy poops lately. i've given him some fruit for fiber, nothing excessive just a cored apple here and there to try and help. today i find his fluffy rear looking like this! did he prolapse his vent? is that his papilla? i have no idea what i'm looking at which makes it hard to know what to do for him. overall he's been acting normal, just a bit sluggish. nothing too unusual. he's being very brave about coming inside for some more cleaning
