Could we be glossing over the greed factor in humans? I touched on it on another forum. By keeping males in low supply would keep the value on males high. At one time a male emu( large flightless bird) was 20 times the price of females. The reason why is because the main breeder of emu in the US was culling most males. This could explain low male numbers and the price tag as well.
Agreed 100%. There's some speculation that's the issue currently with some other "big names" hatching normal ratios of males. The next season should be very interesting to see if this trend continues.
