I knew I was taking a huge risk with the surgery but I wanted a chance for a rooster that was supposed to be a pullet...and my favorite too. He was very upfront about possible deaths during or after surgery and I was willing to take that risk. So far, my rooster seems completely normal and it has been 8 weeks. The girl who referred me said it didn't work for 3 of her roosters...the crowing came back after 3 months even after the redo. Cross my fingers he remains the same. Sorry about yours.
