ratio of male to female in hatch?

What is the average male to female hatch rate? Is the survival rate about the same?
By the time people raise them up to the more than 2 years that would be required, it would be quite difficult to tell which sex had sustained more losses, I'd think. I know I've not had a group I raised that long that hadn't suffered any losses along the way. My 4 were 2 females, 1 male, and 1 I don't know, for arguments sake. The I don't know is a snub nosed and I'm finding it harder to guesstimate.
Sorry I'm not more help. I don't personally know anyone that's raised an entire group out to sexing for the ratios to ask.
