I looked at your rooster thread in the Emergency section and I agree with Eggsessive, it appears he may have Pox. Generally a healthy bird will survive this virus but they will feel bad for a couple weeks. All you can do is keep him comfortable, and give him vitamins. I like to use Poly Vi Sol, children's liquid vitamins you can get in the vitamin section at Walmart. Use the kind WITHOUT the iron. .25ml once daily given orally. These will help him heal faster. It may take a couple weeks to completely heal.

Welcome to the pulse beat of the chicken community, thank you for joining us at BYC.

I agree with TwoCrows assessment of your bird and her instructions for treatment.
