Blue Copper Marans Cockerels - Which has best conformation

[nmunroe]

Hello everyone. I was hoping for some advice.
We had purchased 3 straight run blue copper marans. 3 out of 3 ended up being cockerels. We are going to keep one of them. I was wondering if anyone could provide insight on which one conforms best to the Marans standard. I am located in the USA, however I believe they were bred towards the French standard. it’s hard to tell from the pics, but they all do have the feathered feet. I did notice that Poe has solid black eyes, and the other two do not. They are 17 weeks.
I would like to keep the one with the best conformation. Who should I keep???

My guess is that #2 is the best, but I’m not a marans breeder. I’m going off information from this thread, which you may want to check out: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...er-marans-thread-breeding-to-the-sop.1122465/.
