Rooster with bare butt

[nancyjkelly]

My rooster has dropped all his tail feathers, which I figure is normal molting. However, I noticed today that his entire butt is naked though there are a new feathers sprouting. Should I be concerned about his bare butt?

Pics? I won't really be able to help, but those that can will need them.

Sounds like he is moulting if new feathers are sprouting. Be careful that the new feathers (pin feathers) don't break as they will release a lot of blood and other chickens will peck attracted to the blood.
