Once you've spent some time messing with the ranching mechanics, you will realize that there is a lot less RNG than you think.
The only critical point of RNG in any chicken path are the few specific paths that require a rooster rather than a hen, and these instances are able to be mitigated by planning ahead.
A lot of time when people talk about "RNG" in chickens, I go over to their pen to see that they have 30+ chickens that they're trying to feed instead of micromanaging a few specific ones. You have a lot more control over chickens when you limit yourself to the minimum number necessary, and I know this because i've extensively tested it by playing the job myself for many hours.
You can get a golden chicken (the slowest chicken to get, requiring an absurdly happy brown rooster) in 40m on average if you leverage all the tools available to you.
Ask for help from more experienced ranchers both in game and on the discord. Experiment with how different food additives affect the hunger and happiness progression of your chickens. Take notes, share with other players, and update the wiki with your findings. This is not a department that I designed for people to be able to completely minmax on their own without a guide.
