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 would get some styptic powder and some heavy duty dog nail clippers and take those spurs down to just off the leg. It'll hurt and bleed in the short term, but those really need to go.

This is him

as far as I know its not a RRR

He may be a faverol.

Whoo, the leg mites on that guy!
Rub a thin layer of Vicks vapor rub on those legs and toes to suffocate those little monsters and soothe his legs and feet.
Poor dude.

He may be a faveroll

 

[Chickassan]

Nope, he isn't no feathered legs and no extra toes.
No muffs or beard.
The pattern and coloration is very close though.

If we find out the breed then we could see how his breed is like

Welcome to BYC. I hope that the experts will be here soon.
In the meantime:
1. began by soaking his legs and feet in warm water daily, and applying Vaseline or bag balm to them. That's to get rid of the leg mites.
2. Put him on a good diet. A starter grower feed with 20% protein will work.
3. If you can find some Rooster Booster Poultry Cell at your local Tractor Supply, you can give him a little each day. That will help, as he is most likely anemic from the mites.
4. When you trim his spurs, wrap him in a towel, for your protection and his. Just trim a little each day or use a file on the end closest to where they are growing into the skin. I would just file all the way around, each spur, a little at a time. They should break away from the skin, after a few times of this. ( If they bleed, you can put corn starch on them to stop bleeding.) Once you get the area where they are grown in loose, you may be able to gently wiggle it out of his skin. 5. You'll probably need to begin using antibiotic salve (without painkiller) at that point. You can use it in place of the Vaseline, on his entire feet and legs.
6. He may need to be treated for lice also, it won't hurt to apply "Garden and Poultry Dust" all over.
This is a permethrin based powder. Don't use it around cats.
Poor guy, he is so lucky that you found him! Again, welcome to BYC, and keep us updated.

We could get an idea yes.
He could be a mix, but he's definitely not a Faverolles.
