Yes, it's normal. Your Rooster is just protecting your hen while she's laying.

Is it ok to have hens without roosters?

4 hens per rooster is a better ratio. Roosters often "rough up" the hens when they breed, so having more hens will prevent any one hen from being picked on too much. I know lots of people who feel like 8 hens per rooster is about the maximum the average rooster can handle.

But why hens lay unfertilized eggs?

because they are not exposed to a rooster ok a chicken laying an egg is kinda like a girl having her period, a girl always has her period until she gets pregnant then it's done till she gives birth. a chicken cant tecnically cant get pregnant so it always gets its period did that help? I believe this person wants to know WHY the hen would lay the egg if it were NOT fertilized. This is due to the fact that her eggs are there fertilized or not they must get laid. God made them to do that. Could be a way for other predators to find food.

It's ok. If it's under the seat or in the glove box - no one will break into your car to find it. The bad guys don't know it's there. Thieves only break in when they see something laying on the seat and they want it.
