Summary0002739: Migrant baby was born in the future / has negative age
DescriptionA baby is running around of Zero age, born on the 14th of Galena 1052. The current date is 15th of Slate 1052. Yeah...

I assume this happened when the last set of migrants moved in, which was just recently, but apparently the random ages can be a bit too random.

Probably related to the other wonky date bugs - 0000041, 0000152, 0000665, 0001250, 0001437.

Most likely 0001437 - do immigrants ever come with babies or just children? If not, then that baby was actually born in 1051.

I've had immigrants come with both, but, I will see if they become a child on the 14th of Galena, when they should be 1.

Ok, have tested, the baby age born is simply broken, they are now 4 months old, with the current date of 16th of Galena, and their born date is marked as 14th of Galena (both 1052), so the child is ageing from the point they existed, which was sooner then they were meant to be born

I have the same bug in 0.31.12. Its 2nd Malachite 1053 and I have a migrant child who will be born in 15th Limestone 1054. He came in the last migrant wave which was the first of 1053. His description says he's 2 years old.

Here's my save. Unfortunately I'm past the child's birthdate, so it doesn't display her age as negative anymore in Thoughts and Preferences.

I got a negative aged child migrant in 0.42.04. It's Erush, at the bottom of the citizen list. I didn't generate the world, but I'm told it was generated in 0.42.04. I'm playing on Linux, but it may have been generated on a different platform. Here's the save:

Warlemming's comment above makes me wonder if this isn't a bug related to pregnant dwarves arriving at the fortress, since as soon as 14 Galena hit the baby's age changed to the number of months since they had arrived at the fortress. Are pregnancies tracked at a world level in a way that would permit this?
