By poor quality, I mean the parents were to breed standard, like perfect lacing of the feathers, or fully feathered legs. They are still healthy birds, so if showing doesn't matter to you, by all means keep them. Hatcheries generally go for quantity over quality of birds. So some chicks might have disqualifications for showing( like my hatchery silkie had the wrong comb type). I have purchased hatchery birds and purchased eggs from breeders and hatched.
They will be perfectly healthy, so no need to get rid of them, they are just not good for showing is all.
