My hen, Buttercup has a bleeding foot. She is a buff brahma, I noticed today when she was on a trampoline, I put her there to hang out and to give treats. Everything else is normal and no other chickens have it.

how bad is it bleeding? do you have bird blood stop If its pretty bad? Does she have all her toes and toenails?
 
I would rinse it really well. Also do you have any blue kote? It is the stuff so the other chickens don't peck at her bloody area.

Sorry to see her foot has been hurt. If it’s still bleeding maybe put on some quick stop or corn starch

Is she limping?
That looks basically how it looks when my brahma's foot feathers get damaged in some way, (some of my birds peck at them because they don't realize that they're attached to her feet!) particularly if the feathers are new/growing back after a molt. I always blu-kote it to cover up the blood.
Not saying that that is definitely what is going on with your chicken, but that's what I looks like to me.
