Rooster production it basically hit and miss. There is no way to control what you get from the hatch. It has been suggested that higher incubation temperatures increase Rooster production however it also reduces hatch totals. Male /female ratios of a hatch are usually 50%. Roosters hatched in single purpose layer hatcheries were often culled right away. As there is little or no difference in the meat value of cockerels verses pullet the roosters are now raised to meat size and used for broilers.

Does the chicken have to be broody before you put the rooster in?
No. The rooster makes the hen's eggs fertile. From your question, it sounds like you want a hen to hatch some eggs. If so, some breeds or crosses are far more likely to go broody than others. Also, particularly if the chickens are in a pen/run rather than free ranging, a rooster will discourage broodiness rather than encourage it. A rooster also reduces egg production - in both cases its because he chases the hens a little to control them and mate with them, so egg production drops.
