Yeah, you don't need a rooster and you don't want one if you enjoy sleeping. If you pen the hens, they will lay the eggs in the beds you make them. You could let them roam during the day and pen them at night from critters.
The warmth will depend on how cold it gets where you are, but I think they are pretty hardy. My dad let his roam in and out of the barn and there didn't seem to be any issues.
We will be getting laying hens when our doggie goes to heaven.
