No. You do not need a Rooster ( no such thing as a male chicken) to get a chicken to lay eggs. Eggs are produced based on daylight paterns. The rooseter is only needed if you want to fertilize the eggs.

None. Roosters do not lay eggs, because they are males. They do, however, fertilize hens, who then lay eggs that can be either fertile or non-fertile.
Why do eggs that we eat not fertilize and produce a chicken?
The eggs you buy at the grocery store are not fertilized. In a large egg producing facility roosters are not needed and are culled prior to the time the hens begin to lay eggs, only hens means no fertile eggs. If your eggs have been purchased at a rural farm stand then it is likely that they have been fertilized but unless you artificially incubate them there is no chance they will develop into chicks.
Are eggs laid by a broiler hen fertilized or not?
It depends on whether there is a rooster around to fertilize the eggs. Broiler hens lay eggs that can grow into chicks just as typical egg-layers do - otherwise we wouldn't have broiler chicks to raise.
