Cetawin, sure hope your dad comes through his surgery as well as mine did! It's very stressful for you, I know, but please let us know how he does.
Tiffany, I bet your boy will heal up just fine with enough time, especially if he is standing up. That's a good sign! And using both legs while dustbathing is also great. I just didnt know how much time to give Zane and there were times I thought he was doomed, but my sweetie-roo has such a will to live and such a winning personality and attitude, I should have known he'd be on the upswing before long. It's been probably six weeks since he crowed the last time and I sure did miss it. Two of the six week old cockerels also crowed for the very first time, answering Suede and Zane this morning, a sound I love to hear!
