Sometimes you can sex them by the layers of feathers when they are less than four days old. It is not always accurate though...

 

only certain breeds can be feathered sexed

 

You could always forego the chick stage and buy an older hen. Thus a guarantee you do not have a rooster.

 

Or you can buy sex-linked chicks. Hatcheries also often have the option of getting just pullets in your order, so that's a good way to go if you don't want roosters.
