Nice to meet you Cindy, Welcome to Backyard chickens. I feel I would be remiss if I didn't mention that a rooster can handle 10 hens. Less than that and the hens get overbred and physically damaged. If you have only one hen and the rooster - that is going to be a very bad situation for her. Hens will lay just as many eggs without a rooster, and are less stressed . Rooster is needed IF you need to sell 'fertile" eggs or want to hatch them.

Chickens are flock animals and your hen would be happier with another couple of hens.
