I wouldnt spray anything on his head that would potentially get in his eye. All I can see from the photos is he's missing a few head feathers. Id seperate him and use triple antibiotic on his head and rinse out him one eye with saline. Hes not gonna like any of that so wrap him in a towel first. You then might have to address how many roos you want to keep

If you have cotton pads spray the betadine to the pads and dab the cotton on his skin avoid eyes and nostrils. Then use a cotton swab with neosporin and apply to injury. He should be fine, keep him isolated while he heals.

It looks way worse than it is. Get some nice warm water and clean him up. Give him a few kisses and put him in a warm place by himself overnight. Now is a good time to think: Which rooster do I keep and / or if I HAD to pick one which ONE would I want to keep?

I am the poster child for wanting to keep 20 roosters. They are all charming. You get to keep ONE per coop. That's it. Make a decision and handle it.

This is my advice. Ignore it at your peril. Good luck!!

Thank you! We were planning to give both away. So choosing will not be a problem, there is a nice big farm of a friend they will go to. Thank you for this reply it has put me at ease, by no means will I ignore it!
