To prevent a rooster from fertilizing eggs, you can keep him separated from the hens by housing them in different areas or pens. Additionally, you can ensure the hens are not in the rooster's presence during the breeding season. If you only want to collect unfertilized eggs, you can also collect eggs frequently to minimize the chance of fertilization. Lastly, consider using a rooster-free flock if fertilization is not desired at all.

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.
