This morning I was holding my baby chick, Bardee, who lovingly pooped on me when on my shoulder, and had dropped this poo, I'll send a pic so you guys can identify if it's healthy or not, but I was just concerned by the color. Thank you!
 
Wasn't sure if I should be concerned or not, I was just nervous to see the red in her poo.

This could just be shed intestinal lining, which is very normal for chicks of this age. If that's what it is, don't worry about it! This is perfectly normal.
I'd keep an eye on her though, as brighter red looking poop could indicate coccidiosis, a common illness that affects chicks especially. Chicks will usually act lethargic and visibly ill if they do have it.
Best of luck!
