Yes they do, and grow in a cocoon. Although worms are hermaphrodite (having both sets of sex organs in the clitellum) they cannot impregnate themselves. Two worms line up head to tail and pass sperm to each others spermathecae, sperm sacs. A slime tube forms over the clitellum (saddle), dries out and fills with fluid. As the worm wriggles out of the shrinking tube 5-6 eggs and sperm are deposited in it. The tube closes to form a cocoon from which tiny fully functioning worms emerge some time later. Worm cocoons can lie dormant for a year if the soil conditions are not right to support the baby worms. All worms that are cut in half make 2 dead halves of a worm. It is a myth that both halves survive. They might take a while to die but die they do.

How much does a regular chicken egg way?
A regular chicken egg can approximately hold around 4 lbs. Not much, but it is depending on the chicken and it's health about how the egg shell will produce. Some chickens don't get enough rocks or egg shells to eat and they may lay an egg without a shell. Happened with me before and I learned that they need to eat small rocks and/or crushed egg shells that were heated. If they get enough of these, the shell will come out perfect. :) Hope this helps...
