That makes me feel better. I hope they get better soon. I will check on his legs everyday, but what about his comb/wattles? Anyone?

His comb is fine. If you want to get rid of the dry look, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or some vetrx.

Don't cull him, he's fine. My roos both have "powdery" combs and it's just a pigment thing. The feathers are normal. I have one of my roosters who is a cross and has feathered feet. Its where the feathers cant push though the shin all the way. Don't know how to help but my roo has been like this forever and he seems fine.

You guys don't even know how much better I feel.

Tomorrow I think im gonna put some vasaline on his feet (Just in case.) and comb/wattles. Does anyone know how to make the swellingish thingy go down?

You could try soaking his feet in some warm epsom salts water.

ETA: just don't let him drink it
