Translations:Codex: Sionach/19/en

Once fertilised, the eggs grow to their full size and are ready to be delivered within four weeks, and will hatch within another eight to nine days of being laid. Infant sionach are highly dependant on their mothers, and actually nurse for an average of four years, but sometimes as long as six years, as part of their development. In a natural population control method, hormones produced by breastfeeding prohibit entering heat; only after her last clutch has been weaned can a sionach bear more clutches.
