Yes you can add hens 6 months or older. It's always important to do a see and no touch when you have 2 group join together. They need to be separated but able to see each other for a week.

Any rooster, really. The number of hens vary.

I keep multiple roosters to multiple hens, often it's odd numbers, but usually work out fine. That's just an example.

Fighting is normal. It's how a flock Alpha is established. But if seperation is what they want, then that's fine as well. It's their choice.
