1. thats all fup duck
2. 1 to 10 is the normal ratio, but you may want to go 1 to 15. it gives the roosters more space so they don't have as much competition. this makes life a lot easier on the roosters, and you as well, since they will fight if there are too many. they will fight anyway, at first, but this is normal.once they have their pecking order figured out, they should stop. always err on the side of caution with roosters too, if you have too many, they will not fertilize eggs, for some reason they all go sterile. good luck with your birds.
3. 1 rooster to 10 hens is normal but you may want to go with 1 rooster to 20 hens.
