Is there a way that you can incubate eggs with out getting roosters

[Chick Isa]

Hi, I incubated eggs in the spring and I got four roosters and four hens. I’d love too incubate more eggs but I am done with roosters.so is there a way to incubate eggs with out getting any roosters?

You could get fertile eggs, but from your flock, no. Well I reckon you could use AI, but that's more work then I'd recommend.

You can buy fertile hatching eggs but of course some of the babies could be males.

No matter what when hatching you have a chance to get cockerels.
Most of mine turn out to be cockerels and rehoming them can be tricky, but hatching is a hobby for me.
Just like buying chicks from a feed store there is chances of getting cockerels

Ok thank you, I read somewhere that if you let a hen hatch out her eggs you will get more females than if you incubated them. Is that true?
