One of my birds is in damn pain. Wanted to lay egg but had a pull out. Now the egg stuck with the tube, not coming out nor going back. We tried helping it but it just look as though the tube will peel off.

What do I do?
 
Sounds like eggbinding with a prolapsed cloaca. Lubricate her vent with honey or oil to keep it moist as drying out can cause her internal tissue to die. Give her sips of water, and some calcium (human calcium tablet, Tums or calcium antacid, ground egg shells mixed into yogurt or egg) since dehydration and low calcium can cause egg binding.

Try to manipulate the egg out, so that you can push the prolapse back inside. I hope you can get it out. Seek vet help if possible to remove the egg. Keep her in a warm moist area, or on a heating pad on low. A warm soak may help.
