rooster to hens

[Cats Critters]

I ordered 16 hens got 6 extras ( roos) and where going to butcher 1 of the 2 BarredRock roos and 3 CM roo leaving 2 roos 1 BR and 1CM. but I think the hatchery missexed one of the EEs If It is a roo ( not positive yet)
Can I keep 3 roos to 15 hens?

That is really a lot of Roosters for 15 hens. You could get more hens or just keep your Roos seperate. Are you trying to mate them?

So three roos to 15 hens is to mush is 2 to mush? And remember I'm not sure yet about the EE so it could be to 16 hens.

It might work out ok with 2 Roos but 3 is too much I think. You would just have to watch closely that the ladies are not getting beat up on.

I think ideally you want to have 1 rooster for every 8 to 10 hens. (Your hens will thank you for sticking close to this ratio!)
