New to BCM, FBCM.. need help with who to keep?

[SuperiorFarmsGirl]

I bought numerous BCM in March. I ended up with 9-10 Roosters and 4 hens.

I will be posting pictures of the 7 I have taken so far. All have blue bands that specify the year. The other bands distinguish them individually.

1) yellow
2) brown
3) yellow and green
4) red
5) pink
6) black
7) purple

Brown band was the only rooster from a breeder I bought separately and paid a higher price because he had supposedly came from Nicole Perry’s line? Their lines had won Hen Pullet and Roo classes and the trio at shows. So maybe tell me your thoughts on brown. He’s smaller than the other lines roosters.

Yellow/green band has yellow feet legs which would exclude him from SOP correct? He also has some white feathers mixed in around his neck feathers. And a different comb?

I am new to BCM but I’d love your thoughts on these six,

Out of the 6, 3 have the feathered legs and no yellow feet so that’s I believe a good thing and part of the SOP?

I plan to keep 2-3 roosters.
Thanks all

I'm new to Marans but can say green/yellow and purple band are not pure Marans due to their combs. The combs, yellow skin and incorrect colouring in the hackles of green band etc would make me question the purity on all the birds from that source
