He's been loosing neck feathers as well as wing and tail feathers pls help. Info about him: he's in his own rooster cage no hens with him. Could he be stressed and need hen. When I put hens in he's to agressive on them and there always bleeding an missing a bunch of feathers. Pls help my rooster
 
How old is he?

Could it be that he's molting?

My younger cockerels and roosters molt HARD. Last year I thought one was dying in the floor in the coop because he was so lethargic. Turns out it was just a hard molt.

I gave him sugar water and spoon fed him yogurt and he perked right up.

Welcome to BYC! Glad you're here! :woot

Sounds like molting but check for external parasites (lice, mites, etc) just in case. Could you take a picture of him so we can get a better idea of how to help more effectively? :) An age estimate would be great as well.
