Best Answer

Neither: they are placental mammals, meaning the young are fully developed via the placenta, and not externally, in the pouch.

The only egg laying mammals (monotremes) are found in Australia, and one species of echidna is also found in New Guinea.

Porcupines and hedghogs, as eutherian mammals, reproduce by mating and gestating to the birth of fully-formed offspring.

Be careful not to confuse porcupines with echidnas and platypuses, which are monotremes and lay eggs. Echidnas, like porcupines, have long spines as a defensive mechanism, but echidnas and porcupines are not even remotely related.
