do specific breeds of chicken have a different rooster-to-hen ratio?

[EmmaRainboe]

If you want a higher female:male chick ratio order sexed chicks from a hatchery. Breed will not make a difference. Some hens may be more prone to producing more W chromosome eggs and thus more female chick, but there is no way to know this without experiencing it. The only reliable way to get more females than males is to order from a hatchery, and even that is not always true.

im pretty ok with having a bunch of roosters as long as it doesnt effect the flock, so i'd be alright with them posing as females when their males(in fact i'd kinda prefer that over them being as they are), im not entirely sure if that could negatively impact the flock tho so im interestedd in learning as much as i can about this!

No, I didn't mean behaviorwise mimicking females. I meant showing traits only sexlinked females should have, when they are in fact males.

The male in my profile pic was supposed to be a fibromelotic sexlink (females have dark skin and males have light skin). At 3 days old, this is him.

For reference, this is an actual pair of the sexlink cross
