Is it it's bottom or it's naval bleeding? If it is it's naval them I'd just try to separate it until it stops bleeding and it should be okay. If you have blood stop I'd put that on it maybe.

I think sometimes there is blood on them if they pipped through a vein on the way out... any chance that's what's going on? Either way, my biggest concern would be other chickens pecking it.

I agree with the other two. Definately seperate it if it doesn't die.

It's a bit late for any help, but I had a chick that pushed out and pulled the umbilical cord off. It was bleeding profusely and I hadn't replaced my stiptic powder that had hardened. Any starch will help stop bleeding. Corn starch does work better than flour. Flour was the item I had easy so I put some on the spot and put the chick under a lamp for a while until I was sure the bleeding stopped. After it showed some strength, I put it back under my broody. It was as strong and well as it's sibling the next day and handled being stolen, then restolen between my two broodies for a couple days.
