If you're attached to them and you've named them (both of which you've mentioned are true), then processing them yourself can be really difficult. When the next 23 hatch, hold off naming them until you know who you are keeping and who is going.
Before putting ay cockerels on Craigslist, I'd recommend talking to your local poultry groups to see if any members can recommend someone who will take and process them humanely. Or maybe the staff at your local feed store or hatchery. Better to find someone reputable within those groups as opposed to a random person online.
