How do you keep you rooster from fertilizing eggs?
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.

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.
What role does a rooster play besides fertilizing hen eggs?
Roosters, in addition to fertilizing hen's eggs, help protect a flock from predators and lead hens in finding food during the day and roosting at night. If you watch a backyard chicken flock, you'll notice that the rooster calls to his hens if he finds some worms or bugs and wants to share the food with the other chickens. He also warns them of hawks overhead or cats and other predators that have entered the yard. At night, he leads them back to their chicken coop or roosting area. Hens can get along without a rooster, but they are better protected and cared for if there is one leading the flock.
