Help something is wrong. (Blood)

Monday I was dealing with pasty butt with a few of them. The last 2 days I’ve been checking and everything been good. Went to check on the chicks and I found one sitting by herself when I saw something hangout out of her butt so I just wiped it and a string came out and it was bloody. I’ve never scrubbed my hands so hard in my life. The poop hasn’t been off so I don’t know what’s going on with her.

Coccidiosis. You'll need to treat with corid.

More details please.

What feed are you using? Is it medicated?
Exact age of chicks?
Where did you get them?
Are they brooded inside or outside?
What is the brooder bedding?
Have they been in contact with the ground?
Are you adding anything to the water?
Do you have other chickens (ones not in the brooder)?

The medication in medicated feed is a thiamin blocker Amprolium which reduces the ability of the coccidia to survive. It isn't a medication like an antibiotic would be considered. It is fine to continue using it.

To me the bloody "string" looks like an intestinal lining shed. Shedding lining is normal. Isolating and acting lethargic aren't.

Corid is safe and found at most feed stores. I would get some and start treatment for possible coccidiosis, since that looks fairly bloody. It is a bit common a little later, but it may be best to treat now. Corid dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Do not give vitamins (especially thiamine) while on Corid. Change water each day.

Just a reminder, while treating, the Corid water should be the ONLY source of water during treatment.

What was the chicken's stance? - The one that is having the issue.
How old are the chicks?
It could be shedding of the intestinal lining but I'm thinking Coccidiosis though. If so @MysteryChicken is correct - It can be simple to treat - but can go south fast.
