Hello from Pensacola, Florida. Glad to be able to engage instead of just reading.

Welcome to BYC!
We are glad you joined our flock!
Do you plan on breeding them in the future? If so you could always separate them before hand, should you join them now.

for your question... is your mixed flock the same age? if not then they should be kept separate.

They are currently 10 days old and hanging with broody hen that I let hatch them. Not sure if I should keep the BCM separate from mixed flock once matured to keep breed separate or go ahead and mix with others. I have Barred Rocks, Blue Copper Marans, RIR and older girls. Would love to keep dark eggs

Since you would love to keep dark eggs, I suggest you keep your BCM separated from the mixed flock so your lines stay pure bred.

Let them integrate when old enough. Separate hens and the Roo for a couple of weeks before collecting eggs too hatch.

Welcome to BYC - you have some good advice already so I'll just say hello!
All the best

I’m still deciding but will probably keep them separate, 3 hens with 1 roo. Need a home for other two roosters or my older rooster. Decisions...
