Ive noticed for months one of my 13 chickens went bald?

Can you separate the roosters into a bachelor pen? Her baldness will get worse, and she is liable to get injured. I have used BluKote spray on bare heads to help prevent pecking.
We got rid of them a while ago. We only have one rooster now and problem is hes never mated her before I've been watching and he mates all but her it seems?? Maybe he knows somethings wrong with her? He doesn't even try. and she is still losing feathers on her head and im not noticing bullying at all.
 
My girl tiana is just over a year now and she's bald on the top of the head? Still lays eggs and is definitely grumpy. Still eats and drinks and acts normal. I do have three roosters however two are still very young so not sure if they are going after her or if they would specifically take out head feathers? Should I hear concerned or let it ride out? (To be clear i do plan to be rid of 2 of 3 roosters soon)
There is an antiseptic spray you might try. You will have to catch each one and apply it to the bald area. We have used it with excellent results. It is "Blu-Kote Aerosol Wound Spray" available at Tractor Supply. You may have to do it more than once. Just be careful when you use it and don't get it on yourself or your clothing as it does stain. We keep it on hand to use on our chickens because anytime someone has a bald spot the others help it stay that way. Evidently they see red very well.
