Anyone else notice the genders of pets when hatching are often lopsided? Where roughly half should be male and half female, I often end up with almost all being one or the other - like now, when hatching eight eggs seven of them were male and only one was female. That means the ratio of males to females for this clutch of eggs was 7:1, not 1:1 like I would expect.

that is the beauty /s of RNG.

50/50 chance means that if you do enough tries, it will roughly come out 50/50, but in the short term, you can see very lopsided results. (I don't know the number of tries, but I believe it may be in the hundreds)

I have seen it often with projects, the thing is that the clutch isn't 50:50 each individual eggs are so there isn't anything that prevent you to be extreelmly unlucky and get, by exemple, 14 males out of 15 eggs (then you are cursed and have to do another generation to get more females XD). The chances of you getting all pets from a same gender is lower in theory, simply because of the repetition but there is no mecanism ingame to lock a gender and allow a perfect split. If you do a coin toss 20 times you will get an average of 50:50 but you could very well get one time where oddly enough you get the same result 20 times for the same raison. ^-^

Tell me about it.
If you don't want to think about the stats, out of 28 offspring, 6 have been male and 22 have been female. So far, we're on a fourteen-female hatch streak and it doesn't seem to be breaking.
Edit: It just broke. And then went straight back to female.
My point being, gambler's fallacy: You're just as likely to get 15 females in a row as you are to get 14 females and then a male. It's 50/50 for each pet, assigned upon creation. Some of us are just...unlucky.

Only 3 female lighs out of 8, FIVE MALES IS TOO MANY MALES (hoping the 4 eggos I have will hatch into females and males so that the number's evened out

Since the pet that has the traits needed to keep them for next gen breeding are exponentially rare, I usually don't worry about whether the genders are ultimately balanced or not. When I have the number of next gen breeders I'm aiming for available, however, if there isn't balance with them I will use a gender swap here or there to even it out.

Its called probability

And probability in practice doesnt relay match proabibility msthamarically

Liek the code will day 50~50 but the results wont match up
