Is this the 'ring of life'? the egg is 10 days old now.... I'm not sure if it is.... as I expected a glowing light and a choir of angels to be singing when I eventually found one... LOL

My big female Eleanor laid 5 eggs 3 weeks ago today. Since then she has regained any weight she has lost and is now doing laps of the table again. Could she be about to lay again so soon?
