Is 4 roosters too many for 6 hens?
Better to say 4 roosters is too many for 4 roosters. The 6 hens can wait a bit and soon there will be one rooster a-go-go, one in the hereafter, one running away, and one squating on the ground. The hens could deal with 6 roosters, but the big boy a go-go won't stand for more than him with his flock. actually 1 rooster needs 5 hens to be satisfied other wise roosters will fight One rooster will service (fertilize the eggs of) up to 6 hens. If you have more than 6 hens, you will need another rooster. 4 roosters on 6 hens is not good. The roosters will fight and the hens will be exhausted running from all the roosters.

Should you keep your rooster in a different pen than the chickens?
There is no reason why you should unless the rooster is overly aggressive toward the hens. Roosters protect the flock and of course mate with the hens so unless you have an objection to fertilized eggs, then allow the rooster to be with his flock. Roosters are sociable creatures and should be allowed to mingle with the other birds.
