In zoology, ornithology, and general biology, a group of eggs produced by birds, amphibians, or reptiles—especially those deposited together in a nest, under water, or in a secure burrow—is officially referred to as a "clutch" of eggs. For example, ornithologists speak of a female bird laying a clutch of five blue eggs in a tree nest. The term is also widely used in agriculture and poultry farming to describe the batch of eggs incubated together by a brooding mother hen until they successfully hatch.
