Two bloody combs and a missing spur...

[Trevorusn]

Guess I'll start off with the spur. My 3 year old Salmon Faverolle roo has somehow had a spur completely shed leaving just the core. I cleaned it off with water and Blu-kote. Not really sure how it came off, they were rather long even after trimming but curved up not out. Anything else I should do? I have him in the run in a dog crate for isolation for now, though none of the flock are harassing him. Also, he has fresh blood on the rear of his comb, but I have been out with them and saw no fights. One of my Brown pullets, the boss lady, also has dried blood on the back of her neck and top and rear of her comb. Will that heal naturally? She may have gotten it refusing to mate or getting a scrape on fencing, not totally sure. Either way, on both the combs don't seem to bother them, but Jim Bean is limping on his spurless leg. I worry more about disease over fighting, no disease would cause this correct?

Sounds like you are doing what you can.
Give him a few days to heal up, his leg is probably just sore.
If you have photos you wish to share that would be good too.

I'll try getting some later today.

First two are the combs, second is the spur shot.

From your pictures the comb damage is very minor. Betadine Gel is what I use for comb damage unless it's serious and then it's serious cleaning, disinfecting and coating in pine tar.
Roosters do knock spurs off. Young Notch here has manged to break both his off now at the leg. They bled a lot but once I had cleaned them and disinfected and coated with pine tar he was back out with his tribe showing no ill effects.
I've had other roosters in the past with various levels of spur damage. It just happens when they free range and sometimes when they fight.

I'm leaving the combs alone for now, Ms. Prettywing is already dry. As for Jim Bean, we used a wet paper towel gently and seemed to be getting tissue off the spur core so just sprayed the core with Blu-cote. So my boy will be ok then I take it? Should I do anything else?? Blu-cote is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, not sure if I need anything in addition? Even limping he wasn't being harassed but I'll keep him in the crate for now. How long does the spur/core take to heal/grow?? I gave him a few protein treats, should I continue with 4-5 little pellets a day?

I can't tell from the pictures how bad the damage is. What I've found is if the core is still attached to the leg a new keratin skin forms and eventually hardens. None of the roosters here regrew their spurs to their former glory though.
As long as the spur isn't bleeding he should be fine with the rest of the flock.
The comb damage is really minor and what you've done so far should be fine. Tbh I wouldn't even treat comb damage like that here. That's not to say you shouldn't. I see so much of it I've become a bit more relaxed about it.
It's really just a matter of keeping an eye on him from here on I think. There is always a chance of infection from any wound but I've never had a rooster get an infection from spur injury yet.

Top is the core, bottom is the undamaged spur, seems to have already stopped bleeding though he is still limping. Lol with his I'm ok if the core regrew smaller, was nervous enough trimming them big as we had never done it before!

That exposed part will be tender for several days. I think the BluKote was fine to use and it should heal up o.k. I would still keep him in the cage for a day or 2 so he doesn't bump it.
You mentioned he was limping - I would take a closer look at his footpad - it's a bit dry and hard to see - but it may be breaking down a bit as a precursor to bumblefoot.

He started limping when the core became exposed. He is roosting but I have separated him into our new bigger coop. If his pad is dry how do I go about preventing bumblefoot?? He will be inside a dry coop all week.
