Okay, first things first, I candled all 36 of the eggs that were under the hens, of them 19 looking good, so I decided to give them back (natures course thing)... tossing the rest.

My ladies are about 5 months old with 1 roo (12 total). We got them as chicks, when they were fully feathered we moved them to the coop. Its was hot here so we didn't do the house breaking by leaving them closed in for a week. We did however place everyone inside the coop each night until...

OMG! I just looked up the cornish X. I need to replace these with Egg Layers. These guys are meat ready in like 8 weeks, at 12 weeks they can get to fat to get around or break legs. My mother is going to be mortified. Okay, suggestions on how to find these little guys a home?
