Yes, 4 hens would be enough. If you were to have multiple roosters I would suggest having 8-10 hens for each.

You don't need any special space requirements with a rooster. Same as if you were to have 5 hens. A good roo will protect his hens and possibly give up his life when danger arises if one of his hens are in danger. Yes, you would get EEs, and a quite colorful array of them too! You're guaranteed...

Well, the only drawbacks for a rooster are It can be loud, depending on the breed. I have 3 EE roosters, and they aren't loud at all, and they don't crow much. They can be mean, but EEs are very docile, even the roosters. 5 hens is enough for one roo, just as long as you don't have another roo.

Yeah, you've got a sure fire cockerel there! The hackles are long, the tail is long, and the EE has sickles. Rooster. EDIT: Also the comb is to large for an eleven week old hen.
