  1. Keep in mind with each size chicken the ratio varies a bit..

    On average

    Keep in mind if you fertility is low, it very well may be you have too many roosters. They spend to much time fighting and not enough time mating.

    You may also find 3 roosters are better than 2 seems to balance them out better. 2 will fight a lot, and yes Roosters do play favorites, they may service some hens and ignore others so watch your ratios

    Best: Hen Per Rooster Maximum: Hen Per Rooster

    Bantam 18  25  

    Light Breed Chickens 12 20

    Heavy Breed Chickens 8 12
