Looks like shell less membrane. If you still have it, can you pull it apart?

Work on hydration, get some electrolytes into her.
Get some Calcium into her, she may be having difficulty expelling another egg.

You can find Calcium Citrate with D3 in the vitamin aisle of stores like Walmart, CVS, etc. Give 1 tablet daily, just pull down on her wattles, pop the tablet into the beak and let her swallow.

Did you notice if there was discharge or leakage coming from the vent that looked like egg yolk or white once she passed that membrane?

I'd worry that it collapsed and some of the contents spilled into the oviduct. If she were mine, I'd start her on an antibiotic to help with infection. Amoxicillin is a good choice to give. 57mg per pound of weight giving orally twice a day for 7-10 days.
