If you are going to re-breed them then I would keep the most developed of the three. At 9 weeks they are not necessarily fighting as much as they are sparring and bumping chests. This is a learning activity that the young roos will display as they get older. It is also the first signs of establishing pecking order.

Can you post pics of your little roos? I have 10 RIR (hopefully all hens) that I am starting to see differences in. They are 8 weeks old.
