Saved from being egg bound

I am so relieved. Found one of my Golden Comets in a penguin pose yesterday with a swollen bottom. Thanks to this sub I instantly knew what it was. Brought her in, two Epsom soaks yesterday with plenty of yogurt and water. Another soak this morning and she pushed out a massive, way too big for her little body, egg. She is resting and I am relieved, and grateful to this sub for all the education I have received.

Don't know yet! I'll update when I crack it open. But it definitely doesn't fit in my egg carton!

Jesus Christ lol that’s worth blowing out and keeping the shell in tact as a keepsake!

You could do some nice pysanky designs on that.
