I have a cockerel who got beat up by another cockerel. He has scabbed over wounds all across his back. The scabs look good but I noticed some of the skin around was a light greenish color, like a bruise hue. Is that just natural bruising or should I be more concerned? There is no smell to his wounds and the scabs are the normal dark brown/red color. There is no drainage or puss. Thanks for any help you can give. If I have to I could get a pic.

This chicken is not a pet and if he has something going on that will require a lot of care he will be going to freezer camp so I don't need any suggestions on how to fix a serious problem. I was however hoping to pair him up with one of my pullets for sale so I'm hoping this is just bruising and not something more. Thanks!
 
My thought is as long as there is no odor and no drainage, it is probably just bruising.
*get well soon*
