Sadly one queen seems to have eaten her brood pile :( Thinking about releasing her. What do you guys think?

Don't release her. If you don't want her then euthanize her, give her away, or sell her.

Both colonies are doing well. I think I will soon sell/trade one of them.
 

Colony 2: Has a couple workers and a small brood pile

Feed them a ton and keep them well heated. The more frequently their fed, the faster they'll grow!
