Looks like he had a fight with someone, dried blood. It could be frost bite, though I'm not familiar with that.
 
Thank You for replying yI keep him separated from my other roosters I’m newer to chicken keeper what can I put on it from around the house
 
It looks to already be scabbed up, just leave it and eventually it will fall off.
 
Are your cages close together....so that they could still peck at each other? This does look like peck wounds and not frost bite to me. Also, one year I had a roo cut his comb on a wire in my greenhouse, so make sure he didn't get his comb caught on something.
 
Oh yikes. I was wondering what that was too. My roosters don’t have it that bad just a little sometimes but it makes sense that it’s from pecking at each other. They’ve already determined who is the dominant one so I rarely see it now but for a while I saw it a lot. Now the only one to have it is the cockerel who still thinks he can beat an adult rooster up 🤦‍♀️
