I thought you need a rooster to fertilize it first?

Yes - just keep it warm (under a light) in a blanket...it will hatch - the rooster already fertilized the egg (before it was laid)...

The egg must be fertile. That means there has to be a rooster in that hens life.
Normally a hen lays a single egg about once every day. However, if the hen has mated successfully she can produce fertile eggs. Eggs produce for the purpose of continuing the species are all laid within 24 hours. Depending on the variety of the hen, somewhere between 6 and 14 eggs.
Also, that blood spot that sometimes appears in eggs. Well, it does NOT mean that egg is fertile. That blood spot is produced by a break of a blood vessel during egg formation.

No, it has to be from a hen that was "fertilized' by the rooster.
