went to my brooder to check on my chicks and noticed blood in the brooder and this baby hardly moving, what would cause this and is she a lost cause?

Okay I’ve done that and she is drinking but doesn’t seem to be getting any better, after some research it looks like an infected navel, the most humane thing to do might just be to put her downTake a warm damp paper towel and pat it till it's clean.
If she's weak, try giving her some water mixed with sugar. That should give her a boost.

Ok. So sorry about that. I wish I could be more helpful.Okay I’ve done that and she is drinking but doesn’t seem to be getting any better, after some research it looks like an infected navel, the most humane thing to do might just be to put her down
I see what looks like it maybe an intestine peeking out, but it's hard to tell.
Can you give a good clear close up of the wound? S/he looks like the other's attempted to cannibalize.
I agreeBefore I say anything about putting her down, is she pooping? It does look like torn intestine.
