check your local TSC and see if there are any swaps. sometimes your livestock auction will hold swaps before the auctions happens as well

Look for livestock auction services in your area and call them. Most will have a day or two every month for small animals and poultry; doesn't have to be a 'poultry' auction service. Besides putting them in your freezer, it's the best option I know. People who WANT new chickens for their flocks, farmers, homesteaders, Amish etc, all frequent the livestock auctions.

just the breed, they’re from Tractor supply. They’re Cornish hens and one Cornish rooster

I've used Craigslist whenever I have babies or extra cockerels to sell and have always found takers.

Thank you, and yeah I’m afraid the freezer bit is true. That’s what they were bred for after all

Currently trying that out now. Hopefully I can get them off my hands

If you live a bit rural, your local 4-H club should have leads on many poultry keepers.
