Basic facts that are generally agreed upon regarding roosters and hens… chickens.
Roosters mate 10 to 30 times a day.
One insemination of a hen can result in fertile eggs being produced for 10 to 20 days.
That math would indicate that one rooster could easily service 100 or more hens producing fertile eggs.
But it’s generally recommended to have one rooster for each 8 to 12 hens.
The math regarding roosters to hens ratio seems tremendously inconsistent.
Can any of you make sense out of the math?
