A single rooster can be enough for 20 hens, but it's possible to have several more than that. Roosters may, of course, fight if they are in the same flock, but they can also live peacefully together. It depends on the roosters and the situation, e.g. how they are introduced, if they are raised together, how territorial they are, etc. It's also a matter of how well they do with the hens. Even two roosters can sometimes be too much for the hens to handle if they're extremely aggressive with breeding with the hens. Older roosters will often be better around hens, so it's often better to have an older rooster already present if you're introducing a younger rooster, instead of just adding a few young roosters, but again, it just depends on each individual rooster and what he's like. Most young roosters will get better with the hens the longer they spend with them.
Right now, I have five roosters living with a flock of 18 hens, and could even introduce more roosters if I wanted. They all live together very peacefully, aside from the occasional fight in the spring. All of the hens are happy, and don't get harassed by the roosters.
it depends on how hungry they are and what size the chicken is.
Answer:
Most recipe guides indicate 500g (1 lb) of raw chicken with bones will feed two people. Boned chicken will feed 3 to 4 people per 500 g.
Not everybody has the same appetite. Whilst some guests will only want one piece, others would enjoy two or even three. Around 50 will be sufficient, although 60 may be preferable if the pieces are particularly small.
You would probably need around 10 pounds of precooked chicken fajitas for 20 people. You would want to make sides with the fajitas so the guests will get full faster.
20 pounds of shredded chicken will serve approximately 60 people. The amount of chicken needed is very much dependent upon how it is served.
The average chicken of about 4 pounds to 5 pounds would be enough meat to feed a group of 5 people. The size of chicken needed would depend on the amount of food 5 people could eat in a meal.
Four boned and skinned chicken thighs would generally weigh 1.5 pounds and you would want to allow for about 2 thighs per person. So, for 50 people, you would need about 19 lbs. of chicken thigh in total.
The number of cans of chicken to make shredded chicken sandwiches for 100 people will depend on the size. Ideally, you would need about 6 cans each with 48 ounces of shredded chicken for the sandwiches.
A big dinner would be half a chicken, so 30 chickens. However, 60 people would probably include children, old folks, and others without big appetites. Perhaps even a few vegetarians. Twenty chickens should be plenty, provided there is other food. If you're talking about egg production, you would want about 150 hens to produce roughly 120 eggs per day. That would give each of 60 people a two egg breakfast.
You can average about 3 or 4 ounces of meat per person so 200 people would need about 50 pounds of meat. If you plan to serve both chicken and beef, you probably want 25 pounds of chicken meat and 25 pounds of beef.
180 For 40 people

The average chicken of about 4 pounds to 5 pounds would be enough meat to feed a group of 5 people. The size of chicken needed would depend on the amount of food 5 people could eat in a meal.
