not enough hens?

[bantamfantom]

My Roo has two hens, they free range. The hens have bare backs from the Roo. If I add more hens will he be less "attracted" to the original hens? I don't want my hens to be bare.

Yes more hens will help. 1 rooster can happily service 10 hens.
You may also consider buying some hen saddles to protect your girls backs and allow them to grow their feathers back.

where might I get one of these hen saddles? There is nothing like that at my farm stores.

Check the auction section here under the thread Everything else for sale.
I bought 2 very nicely made saddles with wing protectors from lovemychics.
There are others that make and sell them online too.
These are specialty items that you won't find in a feedstore.
