My selfblue English bantam rooster has a bloody comb, I just walked outside and saw some darker red spots. I’m not sure how he got it, we have some black berry bushes around, hey have thorns on them, he could’ve gotten tangled in them. We have 10 chickens, 2 of the are roosters including him. We have, two barred rocks, two Orpington, two amerecaunas, a cornich hen, a Wyandotte, then our road island red rooster. They are all about 4 months, no spurs on the roosters. Here’s some pics of our Batam rooster.

Looks like he got in a scuffle with the other roo. Quite normal from time to time to determine dominance and who's in charge. This happened all the time to my roos when they were coming of age. Apply some antibiotic ointment to the spots or Vaseline. It will heal. Also watch the boys make sure they don't continue to fight or get out of hand.

Thank you, I will keep an eye on them
