Crowing
As the title states, I want to try to incubate eggs (bought from hatchery) but fear roosters (not allowed to have them) …. so i’m asking what would i do with the roosters hatched?

I’m in NJ too! What livestock auction is it? And how early would they accept roosters? Although i would probably be attached to it, i know i can not have themIf you are not up for it you can sell them at a livestock auction. The one near me (NJ) sounds pretty simple. You have to buy a seat (not very expensive) and then you drop off your rooster and you can leave.
You have to recognize that it will probably get killed and eaten so if you are emotionally attached at that stage it will be difficult.
I want to do it just because i’ve never done it before and it would be cool for the experience but i’m iffy with with 50:50 ratioThis is part of the reason I won't incubate - roosters. And I can have as many as I want here. But if you have a solid plan for dealing with males, you should be ok. Just know that most will become someone's dinner.
Hackettstown Livestock Auction. I have never actually done it, but I spoke to a lady there who was very friendly and helpful. She told me that roosters/cockerels need to be left at the auction place by 10am.I’m in NJ too! What livestock auction is it? And how early would they accept roosters?

Oh, I understand completely. I've thought about it, too. Better than getting chicks from a hatchery. Then I read about all that can go wrong when hatching. I realized I don't have the stomach for it - lol!I want to do it just because i’ve never done it before and it would be cool for the experience but i’m iffy with with 50:50 ratio
