Ask The Imam Question and Answer

67 When a child is born why do we do akeeka? And why do we sacrifice 2 goats for a girl and 1 for a boy?
Correction. 2 goats are sacrificed for a boy and 1 goat for girl.

Aqeeqah is Sunnah mustahibah for both, boy and girl. Two goats are sacrificed on the birth of a son and one on the birth of a daughter (Ahmad and Tirmizi). This does not imply preference of a boy over a girl but this is because the Noble Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe Wasallam) had done it.
