Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I don't know why some hens like to pluck the rooster. Or more so, why he just stands there and lets them do it.

Sounds like a case of hen pecking to me.

It's so bizarre, and he was so handsome up until a week or so ago. he hadn't gotten all of his adult feathers in yet, but they were coming along nicely!

You know, it's never too early, to put a rooster in his place.

I'm not sure what you mean? He's a sweet boy, we hold him often and the other day when I first saw feathers pulled on his chest, I held him on his back and stroked him and talked to him and he just let his legs flop, laid his head against me and fell asleep he's a big baby. Maybe that's his problem?
