Looking for the rooster in the flock...

[Hanson1212]

We thought we were getting 3 silver laced wyandottes and 3 buff orpingtons. All females. Turns out one is a cinnamon queen. But now a few hens are getting bald spots on their backs and can't figure out why. I assumed it was an injury but then hen #2 started balding and now we might have a rooster?

First three have squatted.
Cinnamon queen is Chicken Little (green tag)
Rooster (not actually a rooster) has the red tag and the saddle. Buff orpington
Colt: buff orpington, yellow tag (she was a blur looking for food and uninterested in taking a picture)

Blue: silver laced wyandotte, purple tag
Bruin: beginning to show signs of rooster (male) attention on her back, yellow tag, silver laced wyandotte
Little Foot: silver laced wyandotte, green tag

They also weren't thrilled with this photo shoot. It's been 5 degrees all day, should warm up to normal in the next few days.

I see no roosters. It's could be from feather picking or a hen mating the hens which can happen. I would quietly observe them to see if you see what's going on.

I don't see any males...

Can you post a picture of their roost area?

Agree no cockerels here. You also should have heard crowing by now if one of them was a sneaky boy. Could be some kind of bullying going on.

No cockerels
As said above it could be a result of feather picking or the top hen mounting them.
