I ran the numbers because I am a nerd, and assuming a 50% chance of a boy or girl the odds of getting 12 girls is .00244%.My main advice would be to avoid getting 6 now and waiting to the gender declare itself and then 6 or however many more later. It'll take a good 8-10 weeks to reliably know how many Roo's you got and then you'll get to start over...swimming in chick dust for a good 3-4 months followed by the joy of integrating mid winter...when it's cold and everybody wants to huddle up but they don't huddle with strangers!
So that said, I'd take a hybrid approach. Get 8-12 now...and call it a day. If you get 6 great...if you get 12 hens...hopefully you bought Powerball tonight too. Anywho...whatever you get, I'd call it a year and then next spring round out with however more you want.... which will stagger them a little too.
...just my two cents
