You dont need to seperate them if you want eating eggs. You can still eat eggs that are fertile. It dosn't start developing until its been set either in an incubator or under a broody hen. Just gather your eggs daily and you'll be fine

If the neighborhood is fine, then you're fine. Roosters cannot "impregnate" hens. Your only chances of getting chicks is if one of your hens decides to sit on the eggs for 21 straight days.
 
Like Danielle82 said, if you have a rooster and don't want babies, just collect all the eggs every day and make sure the hens aren't keeping a secret stash from you. A fertilized egg isn't going to hatch if it isn't incubated.
By the way......
