Rooster to Hen ratio...

[meezermom]

OK guys, I have 13 hens - how many roosters? Don't want the poor bird to overtax himself, you know.
Thanks so much!

A good ratio is 1 rooster to 10 hens. So 1 should be fine for you.

One should be enough. I just ran across an artice that stated the average rooster mates 20~30 times a day.

He will be just fine.
