Do you mean, can a rooster lay an egg? The answer is no. Only hens can lay an egg. Do you mean, will a rooster incubate an egg till it hatches? The answer is no, only hens incubate the eggs. Occasionally a rooster that doesn't know any better will sleep in the nestbox but he is not there to incubate and could actually break and eat the egg instead. Do you mean, will a rooster chick hatch out of an egg? Yes, both roosters and hens come from eggs.

A good ratio is 1 rooster for every 15 hens. Many farms keep more hens than that and only one rooster, but that keeps him very busy.
Yes, a rooster will be happier with hens around.
Yes, a rooster is a male chicken. Hens are female.
The loss of feathers on a hens back although not pretty to look at is not usually bad. You can separate the hen from the rooster for awhile and the feathers will grow back.
usually the ratio of hens to rooster is about 15 hens for every rooster. If you keep them separated an extra rooster is not a problem but in a flock of 24 hens,you will have some squabbling between the dominant rooster and the #2 .
The rooster will grow a spur about 2 inches above the back claw and inside the leg. Hens do not grow spurs.
Eggs are fertilized by a rooster, hens do not need a rooster to produce an egg, they will do this with or without mating. Eggs available at the grocery store are produced by hens that never have contact with a male bird. Fresh eggs bought from a farm or roadside stand are likely to have been fertilized since most farms keep a rooster both to protect the hens and to renew stock as the hens age out each year..
