So I have too many roosters but I love them so I made them their own run but now I want to hatch more but I can’t have any more roosters!! What should I do I think you guys are going to say something like you have too choose do you want roosters or hatching chicks more or get rid of your roosters or something along the line of choosing one over the other and I know you guys are right but I don’t want to do I guess my question is is there a way to not hatch roosters I don’t think so but it’s worth a shot

So ... I guess my question is is there a way to not hatch roosters I don’t think so but it’s worth a shot

If you can figure that out, I will fund your new business and we will become very wealthy.

Nope—no way to sex chicks in the egg There is, of course, the round egg vs narrow egg trick, which is about as reliable as the one with the ring on a chain (does it move in circles or like a pendulum?)

Or you could try and change your incubation heat lower, which will lean your hatch towards pullets, but definitely not eliminate roosters.

Or you could buy some multimillion dollar technology. Someone's developing spectroscopy to see the blood of a chick to sex it before it hatches. https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/spectroscopy-allows-in-egg-chicken-sexing-/2500274.article

There is no way to hatch just hens. Eat some of the roosters, give them away, or try to sell them.

Not really,any roosters who hatch just sale,or put a few with your main flock depending on how many are in there

Getting rid of birds is part of chicken keeping unfourtently.

Yeah just be careful about keeping so many birds,sometimes things can get way out of control.
