Absolutely yes. A hen does not need a rooster to produce eggs, she only produces fertile eggs when a rooster is involved. Many farm flocks do not have a rooster among the flock and egg production does not suffer in the slightest.
A rooster job is to protect the flock and mate with the hens to produce offspring but the hens will continue to lay eggs with or without him.
