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

Idk about yours, but when I need to get rid of roos/cockerels, I take them to my local livestock auction. Everything sells out everytime.

Yes kill them as soon as they hatch. It is what they do at the hatchery’s

It's not sarcasm. Most male chicks are destroyed after hatching

No it is just part of owning chickens

We hatched once, got nine alive. Seven were cockerels. They were as good as any.

You can lessen your chances of male's by hatching from hens that throw a lot of female chicks. I have some that constantly throw boys and some that throw a lot of females. But you can't just not get male's 100% of the time when hatching, otherwise hatcheries would already be doing that

Not really.

i get not wanting to cull chicks, its tough. have you considered finding homes for extra roos? some people are always looking for breeding stock or even just pet chickens.
