1 of my roosters looks like he got into a fight with something, his beak is broken, one of his wings are injured , and one of his feet are bloody.
I noticed last night that his foot was a little bloody, but I didn't notice anything else, until a little bit ago when feeding them.

Is there anything I can do for his beak?
I brought him in the house, so I could keep an eye on him.
I close the coop every single night, and the flock pretty much stays together all the time.

I can't upload any pictures.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
The beak break is a vital. If the beak is severe and not repairable, he will struggle to eat and drink and may die. This is something many of us would love to see a picture of so that we can help you determine the level of care he will need.
I am very concerned for him too. It would be like one of us having a broken jaw and trying to continue on with our lives without surgery to fix the jaw.

Best thing to do is clean the blood away so that you can see how severe his injuries are. Then determine what caused the injuries as soon as possible.
 
I would start with disinfecting the wounds. Then if he is drinking, add supplements to his water.
How broken is his beak? Like chunks missing, or cracked?
 
It's cracked on the top and bottom of his beak. The bottom is sideways a little.

Is he able to move his lower mandible?? It sounds like he has had something heavy fall on his head or face. :(

If they are hairline cracks you can superglue the crack. If the crack extends up to his skull/face, it's more serious. If his lower beak is misaligned with the top... it could also be very serious.
