I don't think it could be… it's red

You mentioned a mineral block. Could she have rubbed up to a pink or red block and gotten stained that way?

This sounds to me like a broken blood-feather, in which case the danger has likely passed. If there is blood coming out of her vent, there would be much more cause for concern, but I believe that it is really just her tail feathers that are stained? I would clean her up as gently as you can, or try encouraging her to bathe, and keep an extremely close eye to watch her for any further staining on her feathers.
To help her deal with the blood-loss, Pammy's recommendation of keeping her warm with a heating pad is spot on. You also want her eating some fattier food for a little while: hard boiled egg, millet sprays, bits of well cooked high quality meats or something in that vein.
Keep us posted, and watch her like a newborn baby for a day or two!
Good luck, and feel better Nova.
