Are my IRN's feathers in a bad condition?

Hi there, about a week ago I ended up with a rescue IRN and he is the cutest little thing. He loves cuddling up to my partner and I, and he is quite chirpy, giving us a squawk now and then too🤣🦜
I am just a bit concerned, because I don't think his wings are looking as healthy as they should be. He is about 5 weeks old now, and we have been feeding him formula which we were recommended and I don't think that his enclosure is too small for him either.
Please could someone advise how you think his feathers are looking and recommend what i can do to ensure that my new feathered friend is healthy and happy.
Thank you.🦜

He is going thru his first molt, shedding baby feathers and growing in his adult ones. Entirely normal.
 
If you can get a spray bottle, especially one with a continuous mist bottle, you can give him spray downs/baths with it. It'll help with keeping the feathers clean and will keep the skin in good condition. Otherwise he looks good!
