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
It is safe for a pregnant woman to eat fresh farm brown eggs. For safety reasons and to avoid salmonella, fresh farm eggs as well as store bought eggs need to be thoroughly cooked.
No The only time I have seen a rooster in a nesting box was when it was sick or injured. The nesting boxes are used for "nesting". Laying eggs or when brooding. The roosters do not do this. If you have a rooster doing this there is something wrong. He is either being harassed by another rooster in the flock or he is hurt or sick. It is easier to protect themselves from harm when in a "sheltered" place.
She is brooding which means she is going to try to hatch eggs into chicks. Some of the other hens will lay eggs near her and she will roll those eggs under herself. If you have a rooster in the flock and want some chicks you should let her stay where she is but if your flock has no rooster then take the eggs away from her.
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.
This is mating submission behavior. The see you as "the rooster". Most often this happens to the person who feeds and takes care of the hens, especially when no rooster is present within the flock.
My hens are never left with a cockeral or rooster as I own only hens (except from my chicks) and the eggs are definitely safe! :)

No,they lay eggs by them selfs but if you want CHICKS you need a roster to mate with thus they have chicks not eggs the normal ones.No, a hen will lay eggs regardless of there being a rooster so long as she is kept comfortable and happy with a safe quiet place to lay her eggs. A rooster is needed if you want to breed more chickens since he will fertilize the eggs.
In general a person should be able to safely gather eggs every day of the year. The only reasons not to gather eggs areAll your hens are broody and you want the new chicks,It would not be safe to go out in severe weather,You have a rooster who attacks you, in which case you should kill the rooster.
