To calculate the food percentage for each flock (X, Y, and Z), we will divide the total pieces of food eaten by the total number of pieces of food eaten by all flocks, and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.

### Given Data
- Total pieces of food eaten by Flock X = 32
- Total pieces of food eaten by Flock Y = 180
- Total pieces of food eaten by Flock Z = 88
- Total pieces of food (for the calculation) = 32 + 180 + 88 = 300

### Percentage Calculation
1. **For Flock X**:
\[
\text{Food Percentage for Flock X} = \left( \frac{32}{300} \right) \times 100 \approx 10.67\%
\]

2. **For Flock Y**:
\[
\text{Food Percentage for Flock Y} = \left( \frac{180}{300} \right) \times 100 = 60\%
\]

3. **For Flock Z**:
\[
\text{Food Percentage for Flock Z} = \left( \frac{88}{300} \right) \times 100 \approx 29.33\%
\]

### Summary of Food Percentages
- **Flock X**: 10.67%
- **Flock Y**: 60%
- **Flock Z**: 29.33%

### Simulated Number of Birds in Flock for 3rd Generation
To simulate the number of birds in each flock for the 3rd generation based on food percentages, you might need additional information or rules (for example, whether the flock size is proportional to the food eaten or if there are fixed numbers representing the birds per percentage). However, if we're simply interested in the simulated number based on relative feeding, assuming an arbitrary number of birds for the initial birds could help.

For simplicity, we can hypothetically assign a base number of birds (e.g., 1000 total birds in the population) to see the simulated numbers:

1. **Flock X**:
\[
\text{Simulated Number of Birds} = 1000 \times \left( \frac{10.67}{100} \right) \approx 107
\]

2. **Flock Y**:
\[
\text{Simulated Number of Birds} = 1000 \times \left( \frac{60}{100} \right) = 600
\]

3. **Flock Z**:
\[
\text{Simulated Number of Birds} = 1000 \times \left( \frac{29.33}{100} \right) \approx 293
\]

### Final Summary
- **Flock X**: 10.67% of food eaten, Simulated Birds ≈ 107
- **Flock Y**: 60% of food eaten, Simulated Birds = 600
- **Flock Z**: 29.33% of food eaten, Simulated Birds ≈ 293

Feel free to adjust the total or rules for the birds as per your study requirements!
