My female hen had about 10 baby chickens, ALL MALES? (Only one, super small female) What happened? Also, any ways to make the crowing minimal?

You can have a hen produce only males in a brood of 10 chicks. If she repeats then real.
Hahaha!! It does indeed!Eating the excess ones usually reduces the crowing quite dramatically
I thought it was males that the high temps killed.......I might have it reversed, but good point.It might not be the hen. How were these eggs incubated? I've had temperature spikes during incubation that killed off the female eggs and only the males by majority survived. If you incubated them yourself, then it may be temperature related. If hens incubated them, it's likely the hen.
