Fly strike? Please help! Need cure?

Is this fly strike? Is putting Neosporin on top of the skin helpful?
He did have a dirty coop for a few days, but no sign of mites and no maggots present

This is an image of the roosters left-middle section of his butt. The right doesn't look irritated and still has feathers

Might have fly's under the skin Neo sporin is great on it can you get the black out?
I think it right about fly strike

Welcome to BYC.
I've never dealt with fly strike. Do you see any maggots in or around the wound?
We have some members who are very knowledgeable with wounds and illness.

Can any of you offer advice?

If there are any maggots on the bird, you need to remove each and every one of them off her body. Use a med warm bath and make her comfortable, then pick out all the bugs! I saved my rooster’s life doing that.

Do you see any maggots. That is what flystrike is. If you soak her in warm soapy water, look closely, and pick any maggots off. Apply Vetericyn to the vent area. If no maggots are found, apply plain antibiotic ointment or vaseline.

Thank you for the replies! No maggots. No mites present.
I tried touching the black spots and it's just squishy, but there's no open sores so I feel like "squeezing" it might irritate or hurt him.

Yes thank you, no maggots are present. No open wounds either. I applied Neosporin and will continue too monitor. I've read that sometimes they need an antibiotic shot? But was hoping to do more at home remedies first.

No I have not attempted to squeeze out the black. No open wounds so I think forcing to squeeze it will hurt the rooster

Welcome to BYC

Do you have photos of all of the bird?
What is his demeanor?

To me, it looks like blood blisters with some blood clots. Has he been being picked on?

I'd keep the neosporin on the skin and definitely monitor the area to see that it's healing.

Oh he looks super good otherwise. He still runs to peck anyone who enters the gate, and he's been eating and drinking normally. He does get chased by my second rooster but I've never witnessed him getting pecked in the butt, but could be possible.
