I was hoping that out of the 44 chicks, statistically we would have 22 hens...thus allowing us to comfortably have an alpha and beta rooster? Is that being naive? Would love to hatch our own eggs for family and friends.

That could certainly happen & it will work out perfect if it does. Even getting 20 hens, you should be able to keep 2 roosters without overbreeding problems. Good luck in getting those hens.
