Well, honest questions getting honest answers, if it were I, I would cull them all. Somebody sold you their mess, and that mess has the potential to make anything you do a mess, too. Andthat mess could last for years. There's no reason to keep them.
My impression is that you have aspirations to be a beginning breeder, so in the hopes that you will continue your work for years and years to come and champion this breed, I would impart that one of the first lessons a breeder needs to learn is to cull. Culling is one of the absolutely most important skills of a successful breeder. Indeed, there's very little more important that the ability and willingness to cull.
It's far too early to see anything definitive in these birds. If i remember correctly, you have MMCM birds, i would put every ounce of your effort, resources, and mental energy into those birds and remove these from your equation. The fact that you bought them doesn't mean that you need to keep them.
Good luck!
