Just depends on the temperament of the male mostly. If he's a bit pushy & inclined to drive the hen every time she leaves the nest, then such a cock is likely to be well-suited to a trio. Most males will put 2 hens to nest although I've always found single pairs more productive per hen & if the male gets too pushy I'd take him out whilst the hen finishes off the young then return him for the next round.
