Yes you can. They won't taste any different. Just make sure you collect the eggs EVERY day. If the hen sits on yhe eggs or you live where it is hot and humid the 90+ degrees the eggs may start to incubate. This can be a nasty surprise when you crack an egg for that dish of scrambled eggs in the morning--if you missed some days in egg collection

What is the advantage of having a rooster with your flock of hens?
Roosters have several purposes. Mating and fertilizing the eggs is one main reason to keep a rooster. A rooster , by instinct, is the guardian of the flock. He is the first to respond to danger thus warning the rest of the flock of a problem and often is the first to be killed by a predator giving the other birds time to get away and seek shelter. The rooster is vocal in order that the hens know better what is going on around them at all times. Rooster vocalizations vary from situation to situation. The call of danger is much different that the call to seek roost at night. Hens that have wandered far from home can follow the call of the rooster back to safe shelter. As the adage goes for males of all species, "if you can't be handsome, be handy". Luckily, the rooster is often both.
Can you leave the rooster in the pen with mother and babies?
Usually the rooster will ignore the chicks unless he is a particularly aggressive male. The mother hen will guard the chicks but cannot keep them safe all the time. If you have space to separate them do so. If the birds are free range then you will have more problems from aggressive hens than from the rooster.

Do I need a rooster to have Rhode Island Red hens lay eggs?
No Rooster Needed for Laying HensNo. In fact, if you want eggs for food, you do not want any roosters because you probably want unfertilized eggs. However, if you want baby chicks, you must have a rooster with the flock.More input from Contributors:You will receive eggs from your "ladies" no matter what. Laying age is approximately 18 weeks. This is variable since all chickens are different, as one of mine just laid her first egg at 16 weeks to the day! Even if the egg is fertilized, it is still edible. The egg won't become a chick unless the hen sits and incubates it or you choose to incubate it. Otherwise, if you collect your eggs daily, there will be no chance of the fertilized egg growing to be a chick (which is especially true if you pop your eggs into the refrigerator after collection as I do).Lots of eggs/No RoosterMost eggs sold in Super Markets and grocery stores are laid by hens who have never been near a rooster. Market production farms do not keep the young rooster chicks. They are either killed outright or sold off for meat production. On the reverse side, the eggs you buy at the local farmers market or roadside stand are most likely fertilized. This does not add to or change the quality or nutrition value of the egg in any way as the eggs are collected daily and refrigerated within 24 hours. A fertilized egg takes about 48 to 72 hours under ideal temperatures and 80% humidity to start forming the embryo. After that begins it will take 21 days for the new chick to emerge from the shell.No. A rooster is not required for the hens to lay eggs. Hens will lay whether their eggs are fertilized or not. On the other hand, there are many benefits to having a rooster. The fact that a chicken egg has been fertilized has absolutely no affect on it's taste, and as long as the egg hasn't been brooded for more than 24 hours or so, there is no embryo growing in it, making it safe to eat even for vegetarians. Also, having a rooster means that you can let the hens have chicks, and not have to buy them from a hatchery anymore. Lastly, one of the most important arguments for keeping a rooster is that many, many roosters are killed simply because they aren't wanted. Millions are killed in hatcheries alone, because the demand for pullets is much greater than for rooster chicks. Keeping one or more will save them from that fate. Also, in rare cases, without a rooster around, one of the hens (usually the lead hen) will take up the 'mantle' of rooster and start acting like one, sometimes even going so far as to start crowing.
