Yes.
A good hen will produce an egg every 23 hours. No sperm or artificial insemination needs to be involved unless you want the eggs to be fertilised. In this instance, the male would have to mate with female.
However, hens lay eggs with or without any help from the cockerel/rooster.

Hope that helps =]

Absolutely yes. A hen does not need a rooster to produce eggs, she only produces fertile eggs when a rooster is involved.

A rooster job is to protect the flock and mate with the hens to produce offspring but the hens will continue to lay eggs with or without him.
