do tamagotchi come out of eggs or not

[Lincoln]

because the connection implies that they have the mammal cycle. i am quite confused.
how are tamagotchi created

 

[Mandymom]

this has been a problem since the osutchi and mesutchi…even though they’re hatched from a egg the first generation still gives live birth! Though from the IDL onwards they’re codified as laying eggs

 

[iAM]

Even before the connections, they still evolve. They are considered aliens in the original lore from 1996!
