What are you going to do with all of them if they all hatch???
You'll have an army of Zebra babies all screaming to be fed

That makes more sense. Judging from the number of eggs, it looks like there were at least four using it, or maybe someone laid an infertile clutch and then had another one later. My society finches don't lay full clutches when they breed communally, usually leaving eight eggs; I wonder why your zebras laid so many in comparison.

I wanna see the hen squatting on that pile of eggs (or trying to).

I guess they just did what zebras do best, make babies out of food.
