While i don't have a problem with some chance on the chicken breeding, my biggest problem lies with the raising of chicks. For one, it takes far too long to from an egg to hens or roosters. What's worse, you cannot differentiate if a chick grows up to be a rooster or a hen.
It would save so much time to see a hatched chick and know if it becomes a hen or a rooster so you can put the unwanted gendered chick onto the mass driver and fling it into space (ok, that sounds absolutely wrong). Now you are stuck either mass hatching eggs and painstakingly wait until they grow up or just wait a bunch of time.
For comparison, going from an egg to a chicken takes up ~10 minutes, a decent botanist can mutate weed into lifeweed consistently at the 16 minutes mark.
Just somewhat reducing the raising time of chicks and making their gender visible on hatching would go a long way to make rancher able to engage with the rest of the station on non-rp servers.
