How many roosters are too many?

[MartinsPoultry]

Right now I have 22 adult hens and three subadult hens, but my main question is. Are four roosters too many?
Two are barred rocks, one is a silkie and one is a buff, all seem to get along fine no fight huge yard and plenty of roosting space.

I have had as many as 3 roosters with 19 hens. The head rooster kept the other 2 off of most of the hens. A few of hens took up with the other 2. It worked out fine with free ranging. I don't think it would have if they were kept in a run. If its working for your flock, go with it but be willing to make adjustments if it causes problems.

I plan on it for now "knock on wood" boys are behaving nicely.

might work, might not, have plan B set up and ready to go to separate them if needed. You won't have time to set something up during the cockfight.

I have spare single pins around.
