Do Roosters not fight in a bachelor flock?

I have had 3 like cocks gang up on a larger cock from the same hatch, I was nearby or they would have killed him. They meet the hatchet that day, the one they were attacking has chicks on the ground now, he is and was then larger than them. Before that a pullet got in with a batch and they killed her, were still mating her dead and cold, every one of them meet the hatchet.
 
Sometime the bachelors may pick on one male. I have bachelor pens set up after my breeding season and when they start to pick on the females (about the time they are ready to start crowing) I move them to bachelor coops and pens.
