How many hens per rooster?

I guess a more specific question would be how much do they weigh and how often do they breed(although accurately answering my previous question would have answered both of these) mine weigh less than the hens and do not breed hourly or even daily like standard breeds I have to assume your roosters weigh more than your hens and are young meaning they will mate vigorously for two years and go downhill quickly on the third or fourth before expiring totally after the fifth (unless your lucky) my birds will breed slowly and consistently for over ten years
 
My roosters are notably larger than the hens and are quite vigorous. They're starting to slow down, but for now I'm hoping that adding hens is going to help. Plenty of space to add.
 
I have a group with two roosters and three hens, definitely not ideal but I don't have any other way to keep them. The roosters get along just fine, one is clearly dominant and the other is happy to step back and let him lead. They're both very good-natured, so maybe that's the only reason they don't fight. They don't over-breed the hens either!
