At the beginning of the month I bought a trio of female CPQ for my male, and approximately a week ago I was surprised to find that one of them had already produced three eggs. Some more have been produced since then. The problem is that I have no way to hatch them; none of the females have gone broody (I know that this is a rare occurrence) and there is no way that I can afford an artificial incubator. Is there anything that I can do about this?

You could hatch them under a bantam hen.

No actually bantams make great hatching machines.Clean legged bantams are best as mites usually go for furry legged birds.Let the bantams hatch them and then pull them and brood them yourself as the chicks will not stay with "mom" unless caged with no holes what so ever.
