Hi everyone
Let me introduce you to Joshua, he is one of my Light Sussex cockerels

And here he is with some of his ladys, Joshua may have a problem, if you look at his feathers they seem very fluffy,

he 11 months old, could this be something to do with his moult? I have other Light Sussex cockerels of the same age and their feathers are in good order. Also he has a problem (I think) around his vent area

As you can see he is very red and has stumpy feathers that don’t seem to be growing, can anyone help me identify the problem?
And as a thank you for your help here is a couple of photos of my little chickies hatched last weekend
