That is the saddest thing. You only really need one rooster per flock. If anyone invents a machine to sex hens whilst still in the egg they will have a lot of grateful chicken owners.

You need exactly zero roosters per flock if you're only after eggs.

That is true. Having a rooster makes it easier to introduce new hens into a flock though and raising your own hens from eggs is fun.
