I think you always have to know what your plan is going to be for any unwanted roosters, no matter how/where you obtain your chicks. Especially if you're hatching them from eggs. You don't have a chance of getting a 50-50% split with the clutch, but rather each egg has a 50% chance of being a rooster. It's like flipping a dozen pennies, each coin has a 50% chance of landing on tails.
The Facts of Chicken Life are that most roos don't get to live out their lives as pets or husbands to hens. There simply is not room in the world to accomodate that many roosters. The hens are much more useful for making breakfasts for several years or more. The roosters are not needed in the same numbers as hens. Too many in one yard become bothersome to their keepers, annoy their neighbors, wear out the hens, and pick fights with each other.
You may be able to keep 2 or more in your yard and have them live peacefully with each other, or have room to make many separate pens & runs. But eventually, most chicken keepers have to make decisions about surplus roosters.
You may be fortunate to find positions for your roos as pets or flock husbands. But you cannot count on that happening every time. You can post ads on your Craigslist, FreeCycle, and feed store bulletin boards. You'll have to adopt a "don't ask/don't tell" policy because most folks will take your roos as dinner guests. Which is a much better destiny for a roo than being used for something really cruel, like training fighting dogs or cocks.
I've learned to process our excess roosters, and am really glad I have. Check out the posts on the Meat Birds forum to see what others are saying about that. It doesn't mean you don't love your birds, it just means you have found a good purpose for them.
You could be sad to have to dispatch such handsome animals for your family to eat, or you could be grateful to have your meat come in such attractive packaging.
