Rough Rooster or Pecking?

[sonnenmn]

This is the first time we've had a rooster with our hens. Is this due to a rough rooster or is there pecking going on between the ladies? There are two more like this but the others are fine.

Did you mean to add pictures because It might just be me but I don't see any. Maybe try adding them again?

I can see the image, odd that others can’t see it. It could be she is your roosters favorite.

I can see the picture now!
The place the feathers are missing indicates that it was your rooster. Sometimes new roosters just get a little too rough with the hens. With time though they mellow out. If your hen's back start to worse though I would recommend isolation the rooster and/or purchasing hen saddles for your hens. You can find them on amazon or at pet stores.
