Not sure if this helps, but... usually, pooping before birth is due to some sort of distress, for humans anyway so i imagine that it could be true for other living creatures?

yeah, i was thinking that. this time around im going to keep the incubator in a quiet dark corner in the basement so that there will be less disturbance during incubation/hatching. it was in the living room before and i had to scold my nephew for trying to shake the table that the incubator was on. i KNOW that had to have had some sort of effect on the hatch rate, which was really really low.
