A rooster in the hen house is not going to make the hens lay more eggs. If a farmer is wanting to have more chickens, then a select few hens can be put with a rooster for awhile to produce eggs that will actually hatch into baby chicks.

∙ 7y agoYes, too many roosters can hurt egg production. The roosters will want to do their job of servicing the hens and - if you have too many roosters - they will harass the hens too much creating a stressed situation that causes a negative impact on egg production.
