Hi. welcome to the forum! Glad you joined but I wish it were better circumstances.

That chick hatched a little earlier than it should have. It looks like it absorbed the yolk (which is good) but had not finished drying up the blood in the blood vessels in the membrane that surrounded it. If it is still bleeding, take some corn starch or flour and toss that on the wound to try to stop the bleeding. Keep the chick warm (either in the incubator or the brooder) and don't let the other chicks peck at the blood. Sometimes they will, sometimes they won't.

It is a rough situation. Hopefully the chick makes it.

Also do you know anything about my other egg he still has the umbilical cord do I keep it there or cut it it's been 1- 1 in a half hours since they have hatched and the other egg already took it off

Could you take a photo of that? I wonder if it absorbed the yolk before hatching.

In general, I leave them alone and let them work through it. I'll probably do more harm than good if I interfere unless I recognize a specific issue.
