They say you should only have 1 roo per 4/5 hens. Sometimes that is still not enough. The girls can get over mated or you may have a boy who is a little too rough. You might consider getting rid of some roos.

It's probably from overmating. My roosters each have several hens, but a couple hens from each flock always wind up with bare backs because they're their rooster's favorites. =/

You can make a rooster pen and give the girls a break.
