Rooster was attacked. It looks pretty brutal maybe flesh sticking out. Graphic pictures

Looks like the back of his comb is ripped or torn.
Combs bleed a LOT.

The blood and meat looks like frozen coagulated blood. I'd clean him up really well, check to make sure there aren't any wound hidden under all his beautiful feathers.

If it's just the comb that's injured, it should heal o.k. with minimal care. Clean with saline, then apply some triple antibiotic ointment or spray with a little Vetericyn. Watch that the hens don't pick at the comb, they tend to pick at wounds on roosters and rooster let them. I've had to keep roosters separate from hens and let combs heal up completely because the hens would pick and eat at the comb (they like blood).

If the blood is difficult to get out of his feathers, use a little Peroxide on just the feathers to help remove the blood. For anything around the face/eyes, use Saline to clean with.

I didn’t read that till after my last reply but I think that’s exactly what happened. Everybody seems to be calm since they’re on the roost and I’m gonna get him in the biggest kennel I have before the sun comes up and everybody’s out and about. He cleaned up pretty well. It took a little bit because I know it was stressing him out. So went slow and calming

I'm glad he's doing o.k.

If you have electrolytes or something like Poultry Vitamins (Poultry Cell, Poultry Nutri-Drench), you may want to consider giving him one of those to help build him up a bit from the blood loss. But I think if it was just the comb and he's not bleeding anymore, then he'll be fine with fresh water and eating well.

If the hens aren't eating his comb, he will be much happier with the ladies. I had a rooster that would just stand and let his hens pick at his injured comb, I could not get it to heal at all until I finally separated him for a couple of weeks (he was right next to them). He was not happy being "away" from them though, he was a good rooster.

I did give him nutri drench Yesterday afternoon. I tried to always keep that around four chickens and goats. It is common helpful many times over the years.
In the first year, I owned chickens like 10 years ago. I had it injured rooster and didn’t think about the whole them pecking the wound thing and it’s almost like they were very gentle and cleaned him up, but I know it’s not usually that way.
I’m glad he’s OK too just the amount of blood I saw yesterday was so freaky and the fact it was congealed made it look like flash. Chickens are tough!
