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.
