That's totally true ... I was thinking in terms of having a Roo around to keep the flock together, the girls in-line and protect his girls.
I believe the general rule of thumb is one Roo for 10 - 12 hens. If you had 20 hens you could have 2 Roos ... if they got along with each other. If you don't need fertile eggs you really only need one Roo even with 20 hens.
