Ok, I haven’t got any pictures yet, he just started this today. If I am able to get some pictures later on I will.Most of the hens back and shoulder feather damage is done by the rooster claws. Gently filing his claws smooth can help with this. Whilebroken feathers on a hens back tend to disturb their keepers from what I've seen, it's not something the hens seem overly worried about. If the damage is serious, as in almost bare back then a saddle might help with this. the problem is saddles are really unhygienic and those that I've seen don't protect the hens shoulders which is often the point of highest feather loss through mating.
Post some pictures if you can.
