Found a random rooster on the side of the road on my way to school with torn up feet and it was getting hot so I brought him home, what now?

I have a chilling sense he may have been fighting bait.

Not with spurs like that. They would cut them off so he can't cut up the other rooster.

Also if he was a bait bird then he would be really scared up.

You're right. It's an awful thought. Glad to know he wasn't subjected to that.

Thats horrible! I really hope that’s not the case!

I’m just relieved that possibility was ruled out
