Also, is it normal for the top chicken not to have tail feathers?!

They're likely plucking him. I think your light one is your only pullet.

 

[Painted Calls]

Your last one is your only pullet.

Definitely not normal. Could be getting plucked. Have they molted recently?

 

[Painted Calls]

Did he previously have a tail? He almost looks rumpless.

No! He never has. I don’t notice the others plucking him at all

Thay explains it then. He's rumpless!

Is that a thing? Haha

Is that a thing? Haha

It is! I love rumpless birds. They're like little feathered jelly beans.
