The village's mayor is offering a reward for the next couple to have a boy.
A county mayor in southwestern Poland is promising a surprise award for the couple who next have a boy in a village where only girls have been born for nearly a decade.
Authorities in the village of Miejsce Odrzanskie, which has around 300 residents, don’t know why no boys have been born there since 2010, but they are beginning to worry about filling farming jobs in the future.
County Mayor Rajmun Frischko, a father of two girls, told TVN24 Friday that he will have a nice surprise ready for those who next have a boy
It's been reported that 10 girls have been born in the village since 2010.
"It has been going on for several decades," Tomasz Golasz, head of the volunteer fire brigade, told English-language news site First News.
"I came to the village, took a local girl for my wife and we had two daughters. I would like to have a son but it's probably unrealistic.
"My neighbor also tried and has two daughters," Golasz added. "I don't think women give birth to boys here."
Golasz would like to have a son but says its "probably unrealistic."
Statistics show that more boys than girls are born in Poland. In 2017, 207,000 boys were born compared to 196,000 girls.
