Should my roosters be fighting by now?

It’s not like I want my roosters to be fighting but I was wondering why my three roosters are not fighting yet. Are they supposed to? Two were raised together and are 9 months old. The other is the most dominant and is 10 months old. They all sleep very close to each other on the top of their coop and they don’t fight over the only hen we have. Should they be fighting? Or are they going to in the future? One of the roosters does not crow.
 
Some fight, and others don't. They work out the pecking order through posturing. Generally if there's any fighting it happens in early to late spring as hormones surge.
 
Some just never do - they probably would be by now if they were going to. Ones that grow up together often never start. The two I have now grew up together and prefer to be with each other even over the hens - some are just calm together :)
