COLT OVERPOPULATION.
idk if its just chance but istg I cannot breed fillies, only about 1 in every 6 foals I create come out fillies, I'm trying to build my farm and have a fully set up line of my own with mostly mares. however I'm struggling to create fillies, idm getting colts but I have wayyyyyyy to many atp. is there a way to "guarantee" more fillies being born like mare/studs feed or temperament or is it completely up to chance?

Thanks!

Re: COLT OVERPOPULATION.
Ahh, the good ol’ Colt Curse.
There is always a 50% chance of getting a filly, but as the outcome is not affected by previous foals, we sometimes end up getting a ton of colts (or fillies) in a row. There is (as far as I’m aware) no way to increase chances of getting a filly, so it’s just up to luck

Re: COLT OVERPOPULATION.
With my Andalusian herd, it's just filly after filly without a colt in sight for me. 
Tbh, I do think I'd rather have an overabundance of fillies.

Re: COLT OVERPOPULATION.
There is no way to guarantee more fillies. You could re-home them but I think if you put them up for like one dollar. Or just make a post saying you have all these colts and you need some gone might workAUstalia wrote: ↑Tue Jun 17, 2025 5:25 am idk if its just chance but istg I cannot breed fillies, only about 1 in every 6 foals I create come out fillies, I'm trying to build my farm and have a fully set up line of my own with mostly mares. however I'm struggling to create fillies, idm getting colts but I have wayyyyyyy to many atp. is there a way to "guarantee" more fillies being born like mare/studs feed or temperament or is it completely up to chance?
