Re: Some blood...

Corns are a species known for parthenogenesis, so it could be possible she had her own fertilized eggs, and then problems developed afterwards, resulting in what Albert mentioned.

I too am pretty sure corns would just push out unshelled ova rather than shelled eggs if they weren't fertilized, but it's still possible for them to have fertilized eggs even without a male. They can even result in viable young at times. Partho births are just considerably rarer than normal sexual reproduction.

This doesn't happen...the "shells" can be less developed, but they are certainly still present.

Well I wasn't sure how else to refer to them, they are clearly not anywhere near similar to the white stuff they push out, it's a big orange orb? Idk. The shells may still be present, but they don't appear that way I'm sure is the main point here.
