Is there something I can do for this?

Looks like an unabsorbed yolk sac that was pecked and attacked by other chickens, causing the blood. Hatched under a broody in guessing because of the wood chip? If so was the mom the only adult bird in the coop or were other chickens around? If mom did it watch the other chicks close.
Keep it inside. Clean the chick's rear with a warm wet cloth. Be very gentle. Once it's clean, take another pic so we can see any wounds, and how bad they are.

Your thoughts? I'm not an expert in this category.
Thanks for the tag, Mystery.
 
Thank you for replying to the post and yes you are correct. The chick was in a brooder with one other chick. I have cleaned and dried the are. I have also isolated her.

Separate the chick from the others, maybe one nice friend who doesn't peck but doubt you will find one. Keep it away from all the others and let that alone. It will dry up and fall off on its own. I have had this same thing happen within a week to two weeks it will fall off.

I have done just that. Thank you for your help!
