Will hens miss rooster?

[chaim]

We have 12 hens and one Brown Leghorn rooster. We are thinking of giving him away . He is good tempered but too noisy for the neighbors so he's going.
Now at first when he tried to mount the hens there would be a big ruckus and yelling but nowadays they seem to actually "enjoy" it or at least they don't seem to mind that much.
Question is how will the flock cope cope without him in general, and seriously speaking, will they be horny? Is that a normal need that would be deprived of once he's gone?
Will all hell break loose?

Will a bunch of women miss a polygamist man if he leaves?

Trust me, they'll be fine. Most backyard chicken owners don't even have roosters, and I myself always keep my roosters in their separate "Bachelor Pad." The girls aren't "horny," but if laying eggs, they may squat for you - It's a natural instinct to prevent a rooster from injuring them or their feathers and to prepare for the "duty" to be done properly.

When I separated my last cockerels from the girls, they didn't mind one bit. Their feathers eventually grew back from some of the rough handling, there aren't any more fights or chasing going on, and even the roosters get along better now without competition.

We just rehomed a rooster two weeks ago for attacking the mil and the girls don't seem to mind at all,been getting 10 to 13 eggs a day from 15 bo's since he's gone and a lot more peaceful. But I do kinda miss the crowing.

Separated him this morning, he has been in my garage for a couple of hours, my friend is coming soon to pick him up.
But HELP!! one hen is bleeding (head area - I haven't caught her yet to examine properly)
I think the pecking order is kicking into place real quick now that he's gone

We got rid of our roo about two weeks ago. The girls don't seem to miss him at all. A few squat for me now but our egg production is up and we don't have a lot of hens with broken feathers or bloody combs.
A few of our hens got into fights after we removed him but that settled down within a few days.
