Let me tell you about MY flock, as illustration.
My handsome EE roo, Carl, courts Rebecca but she seldom submits. But they hang out together all the time. Sometimes she does submit. Carl doesn't court Minerva or Millicent, who are low in status; he just jumps 'em. And their back feathers show it.
Matilda, Rebecca, and Lacey are the top three hens who travel with Carl whilst free ranging. He does mount them, when they submit. If they don't squat, he looks for the "easy" girls Minerva and Millicent. But they AREN'T "easy," - they run like heck to get away from him. BUT they both want to sleep on the roost next to him, and if Lacey, Matilda and/or Rebecca let them get up there next to him, that's where they'll sleep. (I have 3 parallel roost bars, so Carl is sort of encircled by his ladies on 3 different roosts around him.
Carl stops squabbles in the flock. He alerts them to possible dangers.
There are other ladies in the flock, too, and a few pullets just coming into laying age. Carl will herd them around the yard at the end of the day when it's time to go to roost. He also goes to round up the laggards.
I think Minerva and Millicent might enjoy growing their back feathers in again without Carl around, but then they'd have to decide who next to roost at night.
SO, the answer to your question is: sometimes, yes, no, and maybe.
