Brian, you seem to have hit the baby jackpot, lol.
Turnip, welcome! Love your Cochin roo. He looks like an awesome pet
Sorry you have to place him 
Cynthia, five to one is usually okay. It can depend on the breed of rooster, too. Some of the milder breeds are fine with just two or three hens, but some of the more rambunctious breeds need a lot of hens for one roo. I read somewhere that the suggested hen ratio for a white Leghorn roo was 10:1, respectively.
