For the same reason that fish, insects and Spiders etc also lay large quantities of eggs. To ensure the survival of some of their offspring. The eggs and young are usually left unprotected and many will perish, by laying large quantities some are likely to survive and reach maturity.
A chicken lays one per day, so per year it lays about 365, give or take a few.
A fish or frog only lays once, maybe twice, a year, and lays hundreds in one go.
So per year, they lay about the same amount.
Answer
Fish generally produce thousands or millions of eggs. But 99.999% are eaten by various predators in the sea. [The number of 9's varies!] Birds in general produce only a few eggs at a time but success rates may be more like 10% surviving to maturity.
chickens are larger they cant produce that many. also hens raise their young so they have a highersurvivalrate where frogs just lay the eggs and and leave same goes for fish and only a small % of them will make it to sexual maturity
Both fish and amphibians normally lay a large number of eggs. This is a survival strategy. Because the odds of any single offspring surviving long enough to reproduce are low. By laying a lot of eggs, they increase the odds that a few will survive.
The young that hatch from the eggs of fish and frogs have a very low survival rate. Very few will live to become adults and many of those that do will still fail to have offspring of their own. In order to maintain a stable population these animals must lay dozens if not hundreds of eggs at a time so that at least some of their offspring will survive to adulthood.
Because Frog and Fish eggs have a low rate of survival, so they lay tons so that there is a higher probability of the eggs reaching maturity.
The frog usually lays her eggs during the rainy season.
lays eggs
A frog usually lays its eggs in a jelly-like substance which holds the eggs in a tight cluster. A frog usually lays over 100 to 200 eggs at a time.
A tree frog lays up to 1000-3000 eggs a year.
depends on the fish.
When a frog lays hundreds of eggs in a small pond what happens to the population of frogs in the pond
before it dies it lays thousands of eggs
A tree frog lays eggs. Almost all reptiles lay eggs except for platypus
A glass frog typically lays 2-3 dozen eggs at one time.
Yes, the frog uses external fertilisation because the frog lays eggs and then the male frog sprinkles jelly stuff on the eggs.
to help eggs stick together it is called a slimmy jelly
