Good luck, I know how you feel, I had the same problem with my Eddie. Are there any open farms in your area that might take them?

open farms, are they ones that allow visitors etc, if so nearest is about 20 miles away, have put them on freecycle, no response yet :?

Take them to a livestock market and sell them that way.

Most markets don't allow cockerals without a hen in the cage

The ones I've been too do, I'm talking about the smaller loacl farmer type markets.

Selby, Thirsk, Wharfdale, they all do.

What about an ad in the "livestock" part of the local paper?
