Rooster butt feathers. Help!

I don't know what your set up is for coop, but skunks,raccoons minks,possums and feral cats can get in the smallest of places , While skunks usually like to dig, a racoon or feral cat will dig or climb, but that looks more like a feral cat tried to get him as skunks and coons usually go for head or neck not the rear side.

Likely it's a broken blood feather, you will want to catch him up and pull it out to stop the bleeding.
All that blood, I would worry very much that the hens will begin to pick at him - this will create a wound.

I'm sorry that you don't "trust" him? Catch him, swaddle him in a towel to capture his wings and get a better look at what's going on. If you need to pull the feather, a pair of pliers will work well. Flush the area clear of blood with warm water or saline. If there's no wounds and it's stopped bleeding, put him back.

I agree with this completely, just wanted to add you might want to use a poultry wound spray that has blue or purple or some other not blood color dye in it so the others don't see it and hurt him. I like to mix balsum fir oil (tree oil) in my home spray because they hate the smell and it doesn't hurt the one injured, def discourages others from messing with the wound.

The fastest way to his heart is through his stomach. Give him a grasshopper or even buy him some pet store crickets. Whatever you can hold in your hand and toss to him once he's seen you had it and gave it up just for him. He probably won't eat it, will give it to his favorite girl, but keep it up and he'll remember you help him in his romance game.
Be an awesome wing man and he won't attack you as competition or threat.

So I just went out this am and got a good look. There is no more blood.
They look like they are just snapped in half. No open wounds

All the responsible advize is to not attaque the Cock, which is a bad idea. Many can be conditioned to be OK or better, and a few are incorrigible. Take your Time.

My stepson had a roo that was horrible! Run the hens,attack your legs,in general a pain to have around. I went and bird napped him one night,put him in a cage for a week. I was food,water and attention to him.Not a problem after that. He now cages his guinea when ever it starts causing trouble for his chickens. Settles it down for months.
