If I had to guess, probably one egg at a time and drink plenty of prune juice. Might explain why the "egg" went plop. The egg itself probably grows a bit after being laid, like some kind of external womb. (These sentences might be out of order.)
Also, have you SEEN human babies? Sure, they need their skulls to be crushed for it to work, but yeah…
Also… Dawe… it's a healthy baby… boy…?

…………It's not the hips that they have to pass through… Pretty sure that they have a couple of legs in the way too. Also please don't make me say it. Gymnophobia. Thank you.
But that does remind me that Yinglets are very… um… *coughs into paw*… "flexible"…

Nope, just double checked, human babies must pass through the pelvis, it's why they're born so early, so the head can pass through. Also why women's hips are wider, so the pelvis has a big enough gap.
So yeah, a baby head being wider than the hips would make it impossible to give birth.
Not that yings have this problem, just, damn that is a ridiculous size disparity. You'd figure female yings would have a lot more sexual dimorphism given this revelation of huge leathery eggs.

Human birth: Look, I'm not saying you're wrong about that fact. I'm really not. However, I am saying you have to measure the doorway, not the edges of the house. You can probably fit more food into your mouth because you've got a bigger mouth, but I still wouldn't say it's because you have wider cheek bones. (It's a technicality thing… sorry.)
Yinglet "birth": Hence, why I suggested that unlike bird or reptile eggs… after being laid, Yinglet eggs probably expand a bit as the zygote of a yingling grows into a full-sized baby. Or perhaps is full of squishy liquids that are consumed by the undeveloped young, thus the entire egg because less squishy. And I feel the need to point this out again… (mostly because I find that page hilarious) Yinglets are VERY flexible… And even if that wasn't a factor… these creatures are kind of designed to live miserable lives anyway… no offense intended, just a statement of observable facts.

Given the seam on the eggs, you might be right. Also, a counterpoint: kiwis. Females lay an egg that is literally a quarter their mass, AND it is hard-shelled, yet there is very little sexual dimorphism in visual appearance. It may be a little that female yinglets have a flexible joint in the pelvis to allow the passage, or the egg deforms during passage, akin to the unfused skull of a human infant.
Yes, that's it exactly what I meant by… in not so scientific terms "less squishy". Thank you.
Oh also, cool factoids. I keep forgetting that Kiwis are more than just fruits.

...What?
Your analogy makes no sense, how would you move something through the door of the house if it was larger than the house? I can't swallow something larger than my skull, cheekbones be damned!
These eggs aren't a quarter their size, they're more like half! They would have to unhinge their hips or something.

*Facepalms for a moment…*
*groans then remembers*
How can a python eat something that is at almost twice it's size width? Again, measure the door. So yes, I do believe that Yinglets just might have unhinged something on top of their eggs being less than hard as a rock.
If not, then maybe the artist just got the proportions wrong and all of this arguing is a moot point.
Seriously, it doesn't look quite as big as you're making it out to be, to me. Especially when you consider the size of the month old babies. AND the artist actucally gave us a sneak peak of a Yinglet Egg not that long ago.Who knows, perhaps doc is scrawny.
(Thanks for the chat. This has been fun. )

Like I imagine duck or Geese eggs are laid. There's no uterus in birds. The embryo and shell start very tiny at the top of the reproductive tract, and gain size as it rolls down the tract, taking a few days to do so. In fact, the eggs of most birds are largest Just as they exit. In which case, the walls of the exiting orifice needs to only be very flexible and elastic. If you look at the size of a duck, or goose (without feathers), the eggs are very large in comparison to body size and they lay upwards of 8-18 eggs at once. So not impossible.
Well, regarding all the questions on how those giant eggs are squeezed out, one could use insects as a reference: due to their vaginas being sclerotized, their eggs have to deform quite a lot while being passed through, and since Yinglet eggshells are soft, they would be deformable, too.
"And now we can make a baby dinasawr."
I was expecting the egg to be more bird-like considering yinglets' other bird-like qualities. So, this really threw me for a loop. However, this doesn't affect my position on where they stand classification-wise. As a monotreme, the platypus had a similar type of reptilian egg, too.
Ya know, I have never seen a bird hatch or the birth of any living thing for that matter. I feel like I am missing out on a one-of-a-kind of experience that many don't get to see. Sure, make fun for it's often times gross and disturbing moments, but seriously. This is witnessing the creation of another life we're talking about here. It must be incredible to watch an egg slowly crack, then see the movement of a little creature emerge from its artificial womb.

Commenting on this one out of order since I am only at #55 and may not get here for weeks, and I had a thought:
Newly hatched younglets have to deliberately pierce the eggshell with the shelltooth and cut across it to hatch out. Could this mean that they are conscious this early? Maybe free of infantile amnesia? Do yinglets remember hatching?
