rooster attacked by a hawk not eating might be blind now need help

The best advice I recently got when my hen suffered an attack (also lost sight in one eye), was to keep her hydrated. She started eating some pellet and scratch a few day later. I kept her hydrated using a medicine syringe with straight Children's Pedialyte (for water with electrolytes). I also incorporated some watered down baby food like sweet potatoes, which helped with her strength. Your rooster is certainly in shock and needs what others have suggested, a dark and quiet place. You'll need to sit down 4-5 times a day and offer water and food via syringe for at least the first few days.

Good luck!!

Thank You Everybody You Have Been A Lot Of Help. My Roo Is Crowing Now And So Is The Other One That Is Still Looking For His Friend. I Think He'll Be Ok, But From What I Can See His Eyes Are Gone. He Looks Strong And Is Not Bleeding At All Now. Thank You From Stimmpy The Red Roo. I Will Nurse Him Back To Health.
 
Try to take a picture and attach it to this post so the experts can see the damage to your roo. His eyes may still be there but due to the trauma and bloods you may not see them
 
That's good news. Give Stimpy a nice big meal worm and remind him to not go into a fight with a hawk without having proper firepower.
