Cockroaches can start reproducing as early as six weeks to two months old, depending on the species and environmental conditions. Female cockroaches produce egg cases, called oothecae, which contain multiple eggs. Once fertilized, these egg cases can be carried until they are ready to hatch, leading to the emergence of new roaches. Therefore, a roach can begin contributing to the population relatively quickly after reaching maturity.
One roach, one egg.
No, baby roaches, or nymphs, do not stay with their mother for long. After hatching, they are independent and must fend for themselves. While the mother may provide some protection during the early stages by carrying the egg case, she does not care for them after they emerge. Nymphs are capable of finding food and shelter on their own shortly after birth.
Adults lay eggs contained within egg cases that are dark-colored and roughly the same size and shape as a dry kidney bean. Depending on the species, an egg case contains between 16 - 50 eggs. Eggs hatch into young cockroaches called nymphs.
It depends on the species. The average female cockroach can lay around 30-40 eggs at once. However the German Cockroach can lay around 40-50 eggs at once. A female cockroach can lay eggs up to eight times before it dies. That's a total of around 300-400 eggs in one female cockroach's lifetime.

Cockroaches do not become pregnant in the traditional sense; instead, female cockroaches produce egg cases called oothecae. Depending on the species, a female cockroach can carry an ootheca for about 20 to 30 days before depositing it. After the eggs hatch, the young cockroaches, known as nymphs, emerge and are independent from the start.
Yes, cold air can kill roaches, but it takes a prolonged period of being exposed to cold air to also kill the egg cases.
