Hey, so basically my cockerel had a fight with the big rooster and he's pretty beat up.
This happened 2 days ago and yesterday he was looking alright I did make sure he was having food and water and he was. But today he's really low energy and he's not eating or drinking I did forcefully feed him some honey water his wounds are not infected and he's not bleeding. This is my first time experiencing this so I do not know what to do and how to treat it. There's way to much different medications and ointments and idk the reliability of any of them.

If anyone could help me with how best to treat him it would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.
 
Use a product like vetricyn or blukote to treat any scratches. If you can isolate the roosters from each other and the rest of the flock in chicken jails(dog crates or such). Chickens will peck at other chickens wounds, so do not allow the roosters to rejoin the flock until they are healthy again with no signs of scratches.
 
Pictures would help here.
How to treat depends on the injury location and depth.
Apologies I didn't think of that at the time I don't have any photos, I'll get some right now they're on another device sorry about that.

Update: he's doing much better today he's standing up, drinking water and even tried to get away from me, although he's not back to his active self but he can walk and eat today iev got some vetricyn iev used that too. I'm really hopeful that he'll make a recovery now.
