How often do females go past thier due date?

I have a female who is past due right now. She was due last Thursday. I know they can go up 60 days past POS. I was just wondering how often you guys see females go past thier due date?

They do it all the time, I think a lot of it depends on their body temperature after Ovulation.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I slowly brought temps back up(after cooling) and had it at about 84-85 degrees on the hot spot for the last month or so. As soon as I brought the temps up to 89-90 on the hot spot, she seemed to grow the eggs a bunch. Can too cold of a hot spot post ovy hurt the eggs viability?

I don't think so, they just tend to hang onto them longer till they're ready.

Yes, I believe so. I remember last year missing an ovulation.... so she never got moved to the hotter tubs where all the females get moved to once ovulation has occurred. End result was slugs....
