It looks to me like left over from the yolk absorption/cord. I had a spitz born with unabsorbed yolk and after the yolk itself was absorbed it left what I assumed was membrane from around the yolk sac that looked quite like that. After a couple days it dried up like a raisin and fell off at a touch. Here is what mine looked like before yolk completely absorbed:

I have a yellow chick as well with same thing today. brought it inside with me since mom and older siblings were trampling it a bit. I revived what looked like a dead chick.. hydrated, warmed and loved and put her back out under hens wing at 9 tonight while all dark and quiet. hoping all good will check early in the amIt looks to me like left over from the yolk absorption/cord.

Once the yolk was gone it left a reddish "ball" like yours. I did put a little neosporin on it the first day and let it dry after that.
