That might not be a bad idea! However, I had a rooster covering six hens, and only one of them, evidently his favorite, was ever worn bare like that. Good luck.If you artificially light the coop they won’t molt, egg production continues, etc. we HAVE lots of roosters but none in with them. I believe that @rachelsflock made an excellent suggestion. I knew it was something that happened, but I didn’t think about it. I have placed a rooster in with the hens and we will see what happens!
