The more eggs laid in a clutch, the more, hopefully, chicks will survive to reach breeding adulthood.
Typically yes! It's a survival technique. Snails normally lay their eggs in the dark. To help encourage laying you can drape the aquarium with a towel or blanket.
Butterflies don't lay eggs! You stupid n'ers!

I assume the question is about hens and eggs? In which case, calcium is needed in a laying ration to help the hen lay eggs with a strong shell.
Yes you can use brood as a verb to talk about birds incubating their eggs. But I think that is not common most people talk about birds sitting on eggs not brooding on eggs.
Chickens can be very weird about laying eggs. Some breeds lay once a day, some once a week. You can try giving your chickens "laying mash" it's a high protein feed that comes in pellet and crumble form. I give it to my birds everyday and it really seems to help. Remember the weather has a huge role in they laying pattern. They seem to slow down when it is really cold or really hot.Provide artificial light to keep the birds under light 14 hours a day.
Beaks help birds hatch out of their eggs and get their food.
Because inside the duck the fat doesn't help release the eggs from the body...
No- and it would not help if they did- snakes are cold blooded.
Laying a great number of eggs helps to ensure that the species will survive. Many organisms lay a large number of eggs because many of the eggs will get eaten, squashed etc. Many will hatch but then some of the young will get killed/eaten some will grow to adults and reproduce.
Color is of great significance for birds as it has survival value . It helps to camouflage as green color of a parrot is not visible to predators when in leaves.
not that sure but the internet is always helpful. www.allaboutmacaws.com might help. check it out.
