Hi,
I've got two roosters with a small flock size so I'm giving one back to not cause issues later on. Is There anything I should think about or be worried about with him going since they have all been together since day 1. Will The other miss him or show any Behaviours once his gone. Any and all information will be amazing thank you so much
 
Growing up together has almost no effect on chicken behavior. They seldom are BFF. Do be aware that neither rooster might not be good roosters to keep.

If this is your first year with chickens, and you have a place that will take the roosters - I would advise sending both of them. Pullets do much better growing up without cockerels, and a lot of cockerels raised by first time people, in small set ups with only flock mates, as in no older birds - very often become very aggressive to people and birds.
