Rooster has been abused ?

If that is the case he needs some antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Betadine.

Or Blue Kote which is an anti-fungal. It will help sooth the sores. Whether it is from a fight or from pox. Blue Kote will help him feel better in that region.

Thanx all! I watched him all day and towards
the end of the day he began to eat and drink like crazy! He is in our hen house tonight. Ok so what is Blue Kote? Where do I get it? Is it oral or topical ? What are foul pox ? If so is the rest of my brood in danger ?

Blue Kote can be found at any feed store (usually). It is a spray that turns the comb blue, but it wears off after a while. It has great healing power. I really like it.

look up fowl pox on google. He may not have it, but Blue Kote will help his comb and wattles either way.

If you look at him in these pictures. It is all over his face, both sides ..... How do you keep it out of his eyes ?

Here's a good thread on fowl pox with pics:

For comb and face injuries I prefer to use antibiotic cream. Easier to apply without getting it in their eyes. You can use an earbud to get to the tricky spots.
I'm glad to hear he's eating and drinking. Let us know how he does and what the neighbours said. Hopefully they'll let you keep him.

It's easier to apply, but Blue Kote is an antifungal as well.

They have it in other forms that are easier to apply. Just take a rag and put it over his eyes and beak and spray.

As you can see, Sunny is doing much better ! He was locked with the more dominant rooster next door. He now lives with us and not one time have the neighbors come and asked about him. Thank you for all your help. We did rub him down with neosporin, worked wonders !
