Ideally, you should have a 50/50 male to female ratio when hatching chicks.
However, some people say that there are more like 75% males, and 25% females.
Interestingly this may depend on the HEN. In chickens the hen is responsible for the sex of the chick. In mammals and most other creatures, the sex of the offspring is determined by the male of the species. The chicken will actually lay male or female eggs and certain hens may be genetically more inclined to lay one sex type over another type. The problem is in determining the sex of the egg. By opening the shell to test it you usually introduce bacteria into the egg and kill any embryos inside.
50% of the hatch will be male but this is the industry standard answer. Temperature and humidity of the incubated eggs can modify the percentage and is now being tested in the large layer/meat bird hatcheries. A slightly higher incubation temperature will produce more roosters.

How much water does it take to float an egg?
it takes about ten water to float an egg
Why does an egg sink into a glass bottle but not a plastic bottle?
It floats because the water is heaver then the bottle. The bottle is light so it floats. No,It floats because the particles are free to move inside but with water in it there is not enough space for the particles to move so it floats.
How much water would an egg cup hold?
About 50 mils.
What egg will float faster an egg with cold water or an egg with hot water?
Cold water.
Does salt float in water?
Yes . Egg float in salt water because salt water is much densier than pure water
How much water does it take to float an egg?
it takes about ten water to float an egg
How much percent water is there in a raw chicken egg?
A raw chicken egg contains about 75% water.
How much of the egg yolk is water?
It shouldn't be.

Will an egg float in 1 teaspoon of salt water or 8 teaspoon of salt water?
How much salt water is present is not important, the problem is what is the concentration of salt in the water. The saltier it is, the denser the salt water becomes. If the salt water is denser in comparison to the density of the egg (which will more or less vary with each egg), then the egg will float; if not, then the egg will sink.
How much of an egg is water?
I suppose so, but don't start substituting water for eggs in everything. Water and flaxseed is one thing, but just water... not.
Why does an egg float in the glass of salt water?
By adding salt to water, you are increasing the density of the water (essentially how much "stuff" that is in the water). When the density of the salt water becomes greater than the density of the egg, the egg becomes more positively buoyant and will float instead of sink.
How much water would an egg cup hold?
About 50 mils.
Does an egg have more dense then water?
The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.
What egg will float faster an egg with cold water or an egg with hot water?
Cold water.
Does an egg get bigger if you put it in water?
It has to do with osmosis since their is so much salt in saltwater the salt takes up space so their is more water in the egg so the egg will shrink and their will be more water in the cup so it reaches eqilibrium.
Where are the eggs where Captain Buck put around moshi monsters?
