HI and welcome, I am also new to BYC, so I can't really help with the problem you are describing. Try posting this question in the Emergencies/Diseases/Injuries and Cures forum under Raising Backyard Chickens. You may get a better response. Good luck to you and your little chick

Hi and

from Ohio. So glad you joined. Is it on the belly where the yolk was attached? If so, it could have torn a little causing a blood blister.

marlo1968 made a good suggestion about posting in the Emergencies section. Good luck.
