What to expect with 3 roosters?

Ferndale, AR(Zone 7b)

We have been given three young roosters. We do not have any other chickens now, but would like to add one or two laying hens later. Hewey, the black/white rooster, is already establishing himself as alpha rooster and constantly challenges Dewey and Louie. What should we expect in the future? Will he allow the other two roosters to live as long as there are no hens? Will he try to kill them after hens are added to the mix? any education would be appreciated.
