She's eggbound. That's what you would google. She can't shit/piss either so the situation is really bad for your bird. For chickens they rec getting KY jelly, stick your finger up her Cloaca and try to lubricate as much as possible. If all else fails, break the egg, have a syringe with warm water and try to remove the broke egg and flush out the vent. I imagine where you're at now you'd break the egg, remove what you can, and flush out her vent. You'll probably need a towel or rag to hold her still, preferably with help. I'd also look into antibiotics. I know there is some sold OTC here for birds. Not sure about elsewhere. The purpling is a really bad sign. Bruising or too much pressure that it's blocking blood flow. So either take her to the vet or DIY. Personally, from experience, having this for so long with the feces impacted, she has little chance either way. Home care might be less stressful in the long run.
