Questions, questions, questions.

First off: Is this chickens wing a cause for concern? It’s just on one side and none of my others have it. Also, is he actually a rooster like I suspect? He’s/She’s a Pearl Star Leghorn if that helps.
Next: Any suggestions for alternatives to a traditional chicken waterer found at a feed store? They’re just a bit spendy and I’m trying to find ways to get water in the different spots in my yard that my chickens hang out at throughout the day.
Lastly: Has anyone found a way to eliminate or reduce food waste? They’re such messy eaters and I always end up with random extra food on the ground that ultimately attracts more pests and can mold.

Thank you in advance and I apologize for the rant of questions!!

Your chicken looks fine.
Unless you want to use dog bowls, chickens waterers are going to be the cheapest way to water.
What feeder and feed do you have??
