Yes hens lay eggs without roosters, It follows the same thinking as the fact that mammals ovulate even if there isn't a male present.

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.
