It's an odds game. The vast majority of the eggs will not hatch, be eaten, die once hatched, or befall some other type of tragedy. A small percentage of conch will survive to the age of reproductive maturity.
Water snails typically lay eggs in the warmer months of the year, as the eggs require a stable temperature to develop. Depending on the species, water snails may lay eggs in clusters or individually, often attaching them to underwater plants or other structures.
Sand dollars reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water. The fertilized eggs develop into larvae that eventually settle on the ocean floor and grow into adult sand dollars. So, technically, sand dollars do not lay eggs externally like birds or reptiles.
Yes, Bree. This is one of the weirdest animals, I think. Even though they are mammals, they do lay eggs, which is so bizarre imho. :) Mammals are a class of animals that all have mammary glands (boobies). ;) The next division down is order. Platypus are one of only 5 remaining species of the order, Monotremata, all of which lay eggs. No other mammals exist that lay eggs.
A female Red-eared slider may be ready to lay eggs when she becomes more restless, digs or attempts to find suitable nesting spots. Provide her with a private area with damp soil or sand to lay her eggs, along with a heat lamp to maintain proper temperature. It's important to keep her well-fed and hydrated during this time. Monitor her carefully to ensure she lays her eggs safely.
Hens are capable of laying an egg once every 24-26 hours. They start producing eggs when they reach sexual maturity, generally around 5-6 months old. Their reproductive systems are highly efficient, allowing them to lay eggs consistently over a period of time.

Yes, crickets do lay eggs. Female crickets typically lay between 150 to 400 eggs at a time.
The birds do not need to lay so many eggs because the probability of all the eggs getting hatched is higher compared to the amphibians. Secondly, the predators that feed on the eggs are fewer as compared to the other animals that lay very many eggs.
Partridge's lay so many eggs to increase the chance that some will survive to become an adult partridge.
Their eggs are preyed upon by other animals, and many are lost that way. So the fact that they lay a lot of eggs helps the species to survive.
Squirrels are mammals and therefore do not lay eggs. So your answer is None.
Do you mean so many eggs? If so, that question is already answered.
Do you mean "Why do fish lay so many eggs at one time? The reason fish lay so many eggs at one time is survival. The more eggs that a female lays the better chance more eggs will have a chance to survive.
Comet goldfish usually lay between 500-5,000 eggs. The reason why they lay so many is because goldfish eggs, and fry, have high mortality rates. Having so many eggs ensures that at least some of the goldfish fry will reach adulthood.
Some hens will lay an egg everyday so it would be 14 eggs....
