I have an injured baby chick. I have been giving it some chick starter grower and some electrolytes. The electrolyte drink is an orange color. I don't know if that is what cause the color of poop to change. I saw it poop a while ago and it looks like it is a brown or reddish color, I put some pictures.

Does this indicate anything?

How is the chick injured? Yes that is bloody mucus in the dropping. Was it dropped, did it suffer a fall, or hurt by another chicken or animal? Can you dip it’s beak in some water with sugar 1 tsp per 8 ounce cup? Electrolytes or Gatorade may be used.

Yes, this baby chick is injured. I found this chick in it's eggshell with head sticking out. I believe that the chicks momma took away its beak. When I saw it, it had no beak except the lower one which also kinda broken.

1st- pick was when I first found it with bad momma
The rest of the pictures are from today

Oh I am so sorry. It may be very difficult for it to get enough to eat and drink with this beak injury. When this injury happens to grown chickens, they usually need to be tube fed and learn to eat again. You could try dropper feeding it, just placing a drop of water or mushy wet feed on the side of the lower beak. Does the chick stand up or walk?

I am using a syringe to give it water and a baby spoon for wet feed. The chick doesn't stand or walk, not sure if it is because it needs nutrients. I am planning to give it wet food every hour. As for electrolytes I am trying to give it every 45 minutes. Not sure if I giving enough of both. Is there away i can help it walk? Also, is the bloody poop fixable?
 
Take run a small dropper of water quite warm soak the back end in warm water,
The poops should fall of if you work it little by little.
That may be from not hatching quite right or too soon.

What do you mean? Do I soak it's butt with warm water? The poop isn't stuck to the chick but it pooped poop with a bit of blood.
