Need advice and I think I know what ur going to say

I guess my question is is there a way to not hatch roosters I don’t think so but it’s worth a shot:(
There is one guaranteed way to not hatch roosters ... don't hatch eggs!
This is going to sound mean and cold, but I don't mean it that way at all, but people who don't have an adequate - and humane - way to deal with extra roosters have no business hatching eggs.
I feel the same way about breeding pets for profit .. Every (puppy, kitten, horse, rabbit ... insert animal breed here) you bring into the world takes a home away from one that is already here. Breed ... and hatch ... compassionately! And when it comes to pets ... Adopt, Don't Shop!

Dag ... there I go with that blasted soap box again!
 
If you can figure that out, I will fund your new business and we will become very wealthy. :bow;)
I had a kindergartner tell me, with great authority, I might add, that "The pink eggs are girls and the blue eggs are boys." When I asked what the brown egg would be, he only hesitated a little bit before saying, "A pony!"
And that, my friends, is why we need Ag Education in the classroom!
 
The only option I can think of to avoid raising roosters is to hatch breeds that can be sexed as soon as they hatch. Then do what the hatcheries do.... kill the males. :th

It sounds good in theory but I have never been able to kill those cute little chicks even when I know they are male after they have struggled to get out of the egg and survive.
Plus the fact that I LIKE ROOSTERS! I know I can't keep all of them but I usually have 6 to 8 of them around here all the time. The problem becomes who to keep and who goes to the freezer. It would be so much easier to decide if I was hungry. :drool

The only other option I can think of is to go with an auto-sexing breed and find a hatching partner - BEFORE you start up the incubator/broody - who is willing to take the males as meat birds.
