Wing problem?

I picked up this guy yesterday and one of his wings seems weird. He was covered in mud so I gave him a bath to get most of it off but he’s still scraggly right now. One of his wings seems to go down farther and looks more spread out, not sure if he’s just missing feathers or it could be something more?

Thanks! She said he’s 8 months old, will he continue to get feathers or will he fill out more next molt? (We have had hens for 3 years and they’ve always molted fine so I have no idea lol) first rooster we have had!
 
He should grow in new feathers. Roosters molt just the same as hens. It could also be he got in a fight and roughed up some feathers. If that's the case, he'll get fresh ones next molt.
