Sultan cockerel look question

[Lobzi]

I just acquired a young Sultan and I noticed when I first got him that the feathers on each wing near where his wings attach to his body were sort of sticking out/curling out. I thought the feathers got twisted maybe in the effort to corral and transport him. It has been a week and the feathers are sticking out more. Is this a normal look for this breed?
First picture is how it looked when I first got him and the second shows him from the back but you can see the feather sticking out. I can try and get some better pics tomorrow but both sides have this same look of the curling feather sticking out.

I thought that too. Im not worried just curious.
Here are some pics I just took. The last one is the best as it shows both feather protrusions. I read up on Sultans and didnt read anything about such feathering attributes.

I felt them and they feel very still and hard almost like they are attached to a bony protrusion.

In any case, they are not loose at all so I doubt they are signs of molting.

Too young for a molt I think. He is just making exploring attempts to crow.

No its not normal, but its nothing life threatening either. He may molt it out and grow in a new feather just like it. Or the new feather may be normal.

 

[Lobzi]

Its funny but so is he. He is so skittish. The weathers look like he is growing false wingsl

 

[Lobzi]

OK, I dont really care one way or the other as long as he is healthy. Im not raising him for show, just providing him a home. I just wondered if I was missing something in my reading up on Sultans.

Hopefully the OP is still around.... behold my little Sultan:

 

[Lobzi]

OH that is just what my guy looks like. Those false feather wings never went away like others suggested. Instead they became more visible.

Curious - have you bred him, and has he reproduced that?
