25% chance doesn't mean it will always be that distibution, that's not how probability works. Also 25% of 11 is between 2 and 3, so not far off. If you spawned in 100 piglets, it would probably be closer to 25%.

I'm quite aware of "how probability works". I started with 6 piglets. All became female. If each was a 75% chance, the probability of all 6 female is <18%. I then added 5 more but I don't know when the male appeared but if the 7th was the male, probability of 10 females and 1 male is then 1.4% So, VERY unlikely but possible the RNG was not kind to me. It's worth checking the RNG used in the game to verify it is not biased. Many readily available ones are not as random as they should be.
