Another thing I just noticed, when he drinks, he is not putting his neck up to swallow. Is this unusual?Looks like a Barred Rock cockerel to me.
Spurs look relatively normal, not cut.
I'd feed him the Chick Starter which should be perfectly fine for him, offer it as a wet mash if he's not eating very well.
I'd only introduce the feed, nothing else, while he may be used to free ranging and eating a variety of things, I would stick with just plain 'ol good chick starter, nothing more.
You want him eating on his own. Electrolytes or sugar water may entice him to drink.
Look him over for lice/mites. If possible get a fecal float to see if he has worms.
The bottom of the feet don't look too bad and are pretty normal as far as coloring goes since they've been cleaned up.
Comb may have a slight bit of frostbite, hard to know, could just be he's not feeling well, has been picked on...time will tell how that turns out.
I do see some crusty material around the eye. Take note if you see bubbles or watery eye, mucous from the nostrils, any coughing, sneezing, etc.
Definitely keep him away from your other birds for an observation period.
