The probability of 1 hen is the same as 1 rooster. If either of those happen, regardless of the arrangement, the other 3 are the other sex. Can't see how anyone can argue otherwise, unless I'm missing something.

Can't see how anyone can argue otherwise, unless I'm missing something. That's good for when on a given egg the probability of a rooster is the same as the probability of a hen. If it's not 50/50 then while there are the same number of ways to get one rooster as there are for one hen in four tries, but the probability is skewed.

50/50 -- they are either hens or roosters -- there are no other choices, unless of course you get some LGBTQ 123 chickens.

For the farm folks here, is the chance of getting a hen or rooster the same? Serious question, I don't know.

I don't know what the accepted single egg probability is.

I have never heard other than 50/50 odds on chickens.
In some species, semen is selected for gender before artificial insemination. The breeders are very successful selecting for males when breeding cattle for bull farms.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

independent events , this like asking lotto numbers probability based on last week numbers. What are the events being labeled independent?

What about double yokers?
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

But why did the chicken cross the road? To avoid all the statistical mathematics I suppose For some foul reason!!

As usual, you demonstrate you are a pathetic mentally deranged cyber troll. Been several decades since I took statistics. Where is your homework? Crickets.................

The correct answer had already been provided so I saw no reason to duplicate the work. I find it interesting how different you response is from that of Persian Dog: you are right . my answer was wrong.

For the visual learners....
One egg, two equally possible outcomes.
MF
Two eggs, same two outcomes for the first egg if the other egg is male.... (MM MF) or female.... (FM FF) hence four equally possible outcome
MM MF
FM FF
Three eggs, same four outcomes for the original two eggs if the third egg is a male, and the same four possible outcomes for the original two eggs if the third eggs is a female.... hence eight equally possible outcomes
MMM MMF
MFM MFF
FMM FMF
FFM FFF
Four eggs, same eight possible outcomes for the original three eggs if the fourth egg is a male, same eight possible outcomes for those three eggs if the fourth egg is a female. Hence sixteen equally possible outcomes.
MMMM MMMF
MMFM MMFF
MFMM MFMF
MFFM MFFF
FMMM FMMF
FMFM FMFF
FFMM FFMF
FFFM FFFF
One out of sixteen probability of all male MMMM
(1/16=0.0625. 6.25%).
Same one out of sixteen probability of all females FFFF.
The other combinations yer gonna have to count for yourselves.

What was the first response? 1/(2x2x2x2) for the odds of all roosters, 1/(2x2x2) for 3 roosters or hens, etc. It's been quite a while since I took a course that covered statistics/probability material, but I think it's right. 1/16 of a chance for all roosters or hens.
