How many hens should I have to a rooster

The preferred ratio is 1 rooster to 8 to 10 hens. Too few hens and the girls will get over mated which can endanger their lives.

@TwoCrows gave you a good answer here. A balanced ration is key to good health. A good rule of thumb on roosters is 1:10, but it really depends on the flock dynamic and the head roo.
