Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.

I have had 3 broody hens that have hatched out chicks. I thought the ratio was 60/40 for boys vs. girls. My 1st one hatched out 2 boys and 6 girls, my 2nd one hatched out 3 boys and 5 girls and it looks like my 3rd one has hatched out 2 boys and 8 girls. I am interested if anyone else has had the same out come and if so, was it something that you did? I am interested if anyone has input or advice. I am very happy

about the out come I was just curious to see if anyone has had the same.

IT HAS ALOT TO DO WITH WEATHER , TEMP, AND ,HUMIDITY DURING THE INCUBATION OF THE EGGS.

Oh ok. So if it was summer then I would have more boys?

That doesn't seem accurate to me.. If that were true, wouldn't people just make incubators to simulate the weather most prone to producing girls? I know that's true with reptiles, but I don't think so with chickens. Though I could be wrong.
