Roosters are known to crow at the break of dawn, but they can actually crow at any time of the day. They do so to proclaim their territory. Some roosters crown almost constantly while others only crow a few times a day.

If you wish to have fertile eggs that will hatch, then a rooster will help. If you don't have a rooster, eggs WILL still be laid (provided you have a chicken), but they will be considered breakfast eggs, and will not hatch.

So, a rooster just performs the fertilization of the eggs, otherwise, they are basically worthless.

Roosters are the male chickens, they father the next generation of chicks.

They are not necessary. Many coops have only hens. Commercial egg operations do not allow any male birds.

Roosters are needed by some farms as guardians/alarms and breeders.

What roosters do for the egg is they fertilize it. Which means (Once the hen sits on eggs for 3 weeks) a chicken may hatch.

On a farm ,not 'in a farm'. He runs things and fertilizes the eggs.
