This year, I have had 24 kits born with only 4 boys! :::grins::

I usually average 2-3 females per year and a few males, last year there were only 10 kits born here.  It will triple this year.

And girls :blush2:

I seem to get more males during the colder season and more females during the warmer.
I've read it may have something to do with the day light hours, or even artificial lighting.
I can't remember what the rule is though, more light more females or males???????
And I'm not sure how accurate it is. My chins are getting much less lighting over the last 4-5 months and I haven't noticed a difference.
Wish it would work with people ;D Planning pregnancies would be a lot more fun. :D
