Alexander is getting better and better everyday. He's eating and drinking by himself and seems fine.

The only thing is that he is still sleeping a lot. He takes naps in the middle of the day, goes to bed early, and wakes up late. That's not normal for him.

How is he now?

He's eating, drinking, and getting around fine, but he still seems to spend a lot of time sleeping. When I go down at night to see them, Alexander often won't even wake up for me. I'll sit there talking to him and he seems unaware until I finally begin petting him. All of the other chickens wake up and he normally does too. Hopefully it's just something that time will heal.

I also think I need to trim his top beak. It's gotten very overgrown and I think it may be making it a bit more difficult to eat. His bottom beak is still obviously sore, but it's healing.

No I haven't, should I?

Yes, weigh him (see my avatar). Some people may think I'm crazy, but I have found it really helps in picking a treatment plan. If they are losing weight, which he probably is, there are things you can do to correct it before he gets to the point of no return.
