A large fowl (standard) rooster can take care of 7-10 hens, depending on the individual roosters breed.
A female rooster is called a hen. Roosters are male chickens, while hens are the female counterpart who lay eggs and often take care of chicks.
No, Bantam roosters do not take care of eggs, his job is to fertilize those eggs, guard the chickens from predators, and crow.
How many extra chickens??? Is your coop REALLY only for 12 chickens? Chickens don't mind close quarters for sleeping and coming in for food or water, but you need the outdoor run area to keep them happy too. The space for 12 chickens cannot be specifically defined, since they vary by size and disposition. If you have a few more, then make sire they have the outdoor run space if fenced. If you have a rooster, this changes the behavior of the chickens, too. If you think they are overcrowded, then you have two practical options - give them away / sell them to someone that wants chickens or, save yourself a trip to the store and have a fresh barbecue.
Yes, cross fertilization between breeds happens all the time. They are all still chickens and if the rooster can manage to properly mount the hen then breeding will take place. Small banty roosters often have an easy time of mounting the larger hens and the mating will produce offspring. It sometimes does not work the other way around. When the rooster is too big for the hen she will not allow the male to mount.
If you are taking about the hen sitting on eggs then it will make things easy for you and the hen. you will have a better outcome if you move the hen or take the rooster out.

no.
Not typically. Any breed of hen can make a crowing sound but it is often done by hens in a flock that has no rooster. The alpha hen in a flock of chickens without a rooster will often take over the "guard" duties of a rooster.
She could take care of the chickens and the flowers, and he would tend the vegatables

well because of the cold the chicken or rooster likes to take the egg out so when it hatches the chicken wont be so cold
It depends what kind of sickness this duck has. I would take it to a vet for a diagnosis, although that can be rather expensive.
Chickens are usually hatched in a hatchery or incubator. Their mother will also hatch them in the nest and usually take care of them.
You can reheat frozen roasted chickens in your microwave or in your oven. If you put them in your oven, you want to take care so that they do not get too dry.
If the rooster was around a week before the eggs were laid then, yes, they can be hatched. But if there has never been a rooster around then, sorry, there can't be any chicks. You can buy already fertilized eggs for chickens to sit on and hatch even if you don't have a rooster.
The easiest bird to take care of is a parrot. All they do is eat and speak.
