Concerned about my cockerel

Seems a little happier now 2 new hens have been introduced, but has been sleeping in the coop on his own and gets grumpy around food and pecks other hens (he has never done this before and always been so generous with feeding his hens). Face is still white too.
Come to the conclusion he is now just old and grumpy 😂
😂
 
Still seems grumpy, still pecks other hens around food only (never did this before) and has completely stopped cuckoo'ing. Also slept in the straw boxes that the hens lay in a few times, never did that before either 😂
 
He's missing the feathers on his face, I think the white is just his skin. Definitely could be molting.
Thank you im hoping so. Him not cuckoo'ing at the same time as his face going white, as well as him being grumpy and wanting to be alone a lot has just got me thinking all sorts 😥
 
I don't see anyplace where you say how old he is. Have you checked him for bumblefoot? He seems to not feel good anyway.
I was told by someone if your not sure you can tell by how long his claw is on the back of each foot, and his are pretty long. Not sure how true that is. I will check his feet next time he is on his perch definitely.
