Rooster no tail feathers

[MTFarms]

I have a 4 year old rooster that has no tail feathers. He is a very nice rooster. Had to rehome another of the original roosters. I think some of the hens are pecking at him. I have tried to keep him sprayed with the blue stuff but the feathers are not coming back. No mites, etc. Should I separate him to let his feathers grow back out? He is the original rooster for my flock of 42. We have another rooster that is about 2 years old now and they do get along. Open to suggestions. Thanks

Looks likes he's being picked. The feathers won't come back until molt.

What "blue stuff" are you spraying him with?? Do mean blue coat???

Yes, it brand in Blue Kote. I try and keep it so they aren't pecking at his red butt. He is starting to get some small down type feathers starting to grow. I have some hens that are getting broody and I may put them all in the separate pen to stop the broodiness and maybe they won't pick on him in there. We'll see.

Okay!! Hopefully that works. Keep me posted!!!
