By hatching do you mean laying? Because if something comes out of an egg that process is called hatching. But yes, if laying was the term you meant then starfishes DO lay eggs.

Starfish lay millions of eggs. In a single instance, they release up to 1,000 eggs which are met and fertilized within the water columns by the male ones released simultaneously. At two years, cushion starfish are mature males and at four years they change into female.

Hope this helps!! ;)

Does a starfish lay eggs give birth to another starfish and how many babies do they have at a time?

Starfish do not lay eggs like other animals; therefore, zero times. Uniquely, starfish are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction in starfish generally involves the dismemberment of an appendage that grows into a exact copy of the parent. This form of reproduction is not ideal, and only occurs when an appendage is lost (not on purpose). Sexual reproduction occurs through a process called spawning. Rather than lay eggs on solid ground, starfish of both sexes release millions of free-floating sperm and eggs into the water through gonads, sexual organs on a starfish's arms. Starfish may undergo spawning multiple times in one breeding season, dependent on the species.
