You don't need to separate him at all. Just make sure he is not being too rough with them and that they're not losing back feathers.

He's a cockerel. I wouldn't separate him unless he's being aggressive with them or over-mating!

Not aggressive at all. Won't he fertilize my eggs

Yes, but that won't affect the quality of the eggs at all. As long as you regularly collect them from any broody hens, there will be no discernible difference
