Blood on backside!

[CaraBY]

I thought I saw a bit of dried blood on one of my 2 day old's backsides. There was also a bit of scab or dried poo (total noob here - I don't know which it was) so I pulled it away and found blood underneath. Is this just a boo boo or is the blood coming out its rear and a sign of illness? I don't know chicken anatomy well enough to tell!

Looks like where the umbilical cord was attached. Put some bluecoat on it if the others are picking at it or seperate her for a few days. If it's dried poop soaking with warm water and gently wiping will remove it.
