The past month or so I noticed my light brahma rooster had some blood on the top of his feet and leg but I didn't think much of it cause he acted normal. I let them out to free range earlier and noticed he's limping on his left foot and than he was just laying down by himself while the hens and the rest of the birds were going about there day and him just laying there is not like him at all. Please help with any recommendations on what I should do and what it is, I don't think it's bumble foot cause there's no black mark and it;s up his whole foot. Thanks for any help!

 
I'm not positive but it could be bumble foot. You need to clean his foot and do your best to disinfect it. Wrap up his foot with bandages. You might want to move him inside for a while. I know there is an ointment that helps treat bumble foot I can't remember the name. You should wait for further advice.
