Unlike dragons of any age, eggs have a surprisingly thin, translucent, and flexible shell. Often the baby dragon can be seen forming inside, perhaps an evolutionary trait to identify viable eggs from unfertilized ones. Due to the high heat the eggs require and the mothers weight dragon eggs are almost exclusively kept warm on pile of heated rocks or in fire pits. If a female has been injured in such a way that she can no longer create fire they will usually attempt nesting, which almost always had negative consequences ranging from misshaped offspring to crushing the eggs before they hatch...
I hope you can tell the egg is on a pile of heated rocks...
