Bald Hens - What's up with my rooster?

[shandiane78]

Quite a few of my hens are going bald from too much "attention". I don't get it. I have nine hens for one rooster, which seems like it should be plenty?! Is it just a personality issue? I feel bad for the hens getting their head feathers plucked out, plus it doesn't look attractive...Any advice?

Thanks!

If it isn't all of them, then it appears that your rooster is playing favorites, as they sometimes do.
Try a chicken saddle, it should help
