(OP here)

"I think the text is implying that they cause themselves to fall out of their nests in trees when a man approaches because they can't wait to hatch."

"They come down because they roll out of the nest and crack their egg for that sweet D."

Well, damn, there goes my theory. Especially since I seem to have missed this line ''"They target men and drop down cracking their own shells." ''

It seems they really do sit in nests as then consciously choose to drop down. Although,... I can still save this.

It might be that they become a humpty before dropping out of the nest. It's not the fetus that triggers the drop to be born, but the already transformed humpty. It seems that a man does not have to be that close to trigger the involuntary mutation. Still, it could very well be that Jubjubs are aware of the process and may choose to leave unfertilized eggs amongst the regular ones in hopes that a man will still bring them to life...

Okay, I'm grasping at straws here but they have to be unfertilized. otoerwise the Jubjubs might go extinct if almost none of them get born properly due to this. Or otherwise the yolk transforming while lea Plus, I don't care if a slime is sexually mature from conception.
