So what is an ideal ratio for a self sustaining poultry flock? I thought it was about 1:5 but could someone refresh my memory please?

Many thanks

Hi Ginny,
I find that 1 to 12 is Ideal. I have a few fights break out between my roosters but there is only a quick kick up the bum .No full on war.
If there is full on war the rooster that starts it dose not last long.
And if I have to introduce a new rooster in to get new blood line .I get 1 that is 8 to 12 weeks old so he mixes in OK.
Hope you had a good australia day.
Peggy
