22 chicks hatched and only 3 of them were males. What would cause this?

Now, I'm really interested, does anyone know how acv would affect the sex of any offspring, seriously, I am trying to do some wild speculation and coming up with nothing. That would be really handy knowledge, OK put in the water and, OK, affects the Ph maybe, causing transfer of chromozomes to what?

I think it has more to do with acid vs alkaline environments in the body/reproductive organs that encourages the motility or fertility of one sperm type or egg development over another?

Not sure of the science behind it and I really never cared to question it...they were using acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) since 1897 for medicinal purposes but did not discover just how it did what it does in the body to produce therapeutic results until 1971.

That's 74 years of using the ingredients of willow bark to help pain, control heart attacks, relieve fevers, etc. before they ever knew just how it did all the things that it did.

Tree bark.

If juice fermented from squeezed apples can do all the things it can do, who am I to care just WHY it does it? I just wanna be able to buy it cheap...the minute some scientist finds out exactly why it does what it does, he will patent it and we will all be bootlegging our ACV.
