These aren't sprigs; it's not an ideal blade, but they're not sprigs. However, that is not your priority at this time. 7lbs, isn't bad; in theory he should be eight-ish at this point, but all good things come in time. He seems to be well marked, and conversely from your other males, he appears more centered on his legs. His tail is bad both in structure and in angle. He is not as deep in the front as he should be, and he appears a tad high on the shank. However, the opposite is the usual problem; so don't sweat it.
A breeding scheme would be to consider your pullets/hens carefully. Look for one with a full breast, a tad--and I mean a tad--lower on the leg, and with a tail angle no higher than 35 degrees.
