If you let your broody sit on eggs and any hatch, you'll have a 50/50 chance of having at least one rooster.

We currently have 3 roosters - 1 older and 2 younger - but have close to 20 hens. The older rooster keeps things in line, but they do scuffle every now and then. We most likely won't keep them all because they usually start harassing the hens. Before hatching you may want to decide what you'll do with an extra rooster (or 2 or 3) in the event that they do fight.
