Question About Roosters

[lockedhearts]

Wanting to get a Cockerol to raise up for the girls. Since I have a mixed group (Aracauna, Rhode Island Red, and Buff orpington) was trying to decide which breed rooster .
Also, how many hens can one Rooster handle?

i heard 12 hens per rooster i had road island red rooster and he was really tame and easy going

Thanks! My Rhode Island female is very calm, so that might be the way to go.
