Brought in an egg covered in blood the other day. Now my broodie wont get off her nest. She still has a baby (not so much anymore) almost as big as mom but still has fuzz on her head. Anyway, I hope she isnt bleeding inside. If she is, I dont think there is anything I can do for her. One of my other hens gets in the nest with her. Any input??
 
How old is the chick?
Can you please post some photos? If you still have the egg a photo of that too.

Could the broody have gone back into lay? If so, it may just be a smear of blood from coming back into lay.

You can always just go grab her and examine her to see if you notice any blood on or around the vent. Get a good look at her droppings, etc.
