Feathers missing, female? Male? Pics provided. HELP!!!

[jatsma]

This lady bird's tail feathers have been plucked out (the longer looking ones [pic 1]), and one of my rosters has tail feathers missing too (Unless it is a hen?) [pic 2] (Assuming they've being plucked out by other chickens) There are multiple feathers on the coop floor. I am hoping there are only ladies in the coop because we had lots of rooster's who are separate in their own coop far from them. I have a hen house and a rooster house (I will be killing all roosters next week) both averaging 15 in each. There are only a couple more birds that i'm a little weary about and i will post pictures of them also. (it's not molting because this has been going on for a while) All these birds (TOTAL 29) are 4 months old.

ARE THESE ROOSTERS OR HENS?

It looks like your only cockerel is in the second picture. They're all so pretty.

Could it just be molting? On the males or females question, I'm usually wrong (but I think they look like boys) but you might post that pic here https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this
Good luck to you!
