You can make a homemade saline solution if you don't have contact solution. It's great for rinsing blood off.

Thanks, I will do that!

If you have some neosporin type stuff without pain relief that can work..

Yes that will most likely work, but I have polysporin, not neosporin...

I rinsed the roosters' combs with hydrogen peroxide, and also with normal water. Nekbother's spurs were bloody, and the back of Sam's head was bloody. I guess Nekky used his spurs on Sam's head???
Anyway they both got to free-range for a bit, and eat some chick feed (Its their favorite treat??!).
They both seem happy now, and Nek cocorico once more.

to answer is Polysporin like Neosporin I just pulled it off the inter-webbies

Neosporin contains neomycin which is not present in polysporin.
Polysporin is the brand name for a product containing bacitracin zinc and polymyxin B sulfate.
Neosporin is the brand name for a product containing bacitracin zinc, polymyxin B sulfate and neomycin sulfate.

They are both antibiotics used to treat infections and are available in several topical dosage forms ie eye drops, cream etc.

Sam is looking worse for wear. NekBother has black specks (scabs??) on his comb and wattles, but other than that fine. I wiped down Nekbother's spurs.
Sam, on the other hand has a very swollen face. One of his eyes is swollen shut. His comb and wattles are fine, and so are his earlobes and spurs.

I am thinking of giving him some arnica to help his swelling. Thoughts?

not sure it helps but I'm leery of putting anything on their face as I feel it is just as likely to get into the eye and make matters worse. you mentioned the back of his head was blood, maybe focus on keeping it from getting infected and yeah probably normal to have swelling after getting punched in the head. You are a good person for taking so much time to help them. thank you

Thank you! You gave me suggestions to help them through this. I will focus on not letting the back of his head get infected, and I will give him arnica to help bring down the swelling.
