Hello! I am sorry Sky had a problem passing her egg. In the photo it looks very possible that she has a prolapse and should see a vet. If left untreated a prolapse can dry out, bleed, and become infected. It can also make her unable to pass another egg. It can be normal for a bird to bleed with passing stool a couple times after laying but this far out is abnormal. I am sorry for any alarm but this can become serious. https://www.petcoach.co/article/egg-binding-and-dystocia-in-birds-risks-signs-treatment-and/
