So at this point in time, I only give a Dead foal stat if it's born with OLWS (Overo Lethal White Syndrome), which we haven't had happen here yet. However, I generate foal gender by typing in "male" and "female" 20 times each in a randomizer. Click randomize, the first word determines your foal's gender, if you get ten of the same in a row you get twins and a second randomization determines their gender.
If you guys want me to, I an add another option, "stillborn". This would be a 1/41 chance, which can be changed easily just by adding more or less "male" and "female" to the list. On the one hand, it's more realistic and a bit more suspenseful, on the other hand some people might not want to have their foal die.

If you're "on the fence" with this idea, or some people like it and others don't, it's possible that (if you guys decide you want the point system in the other poll) you could buy "Live Foal Guarantee" in the point store. This would be very cheap (like, 1 point) so anyone could get it if they wanted it; so if you want the excitement/realism of maybe getting a dead foal then you can do that, and if you really want a foal to live then you can get an LFG. But if everyone says No to stillborns, then of course you'll all still get automatic live foals without using any points (if we set the point system up).
Of course, you still have the option of choosing to kill off a foal yourself, even if the stats I give you are for a live baby.
