0008071: Nothing being born
No baby dwarves, no baby dogs, no kittens, and the turkey eggs are not hatching (they are forbidden inside the nest box)

This is affecting food, leather, and soap production and jeopardizing my civ, as this fort is one of two active fortresses.
No tags attached.

@polartechie:

That is an open-world save, not a fortress save.

I embarked in your world with cats & dogs (5 each gender) and they gave birth like clockwork the first autumn. It is likely you didn't have enough animals to ensure a breeding pair (0007651).

Thanks for checking the save, Loci. polartechie, please reopen if 0007651 doesn't explain it.
