There is an item called "Knife and Fork" that each time you kill an enemy with melee damage it has a chance to drop an egg.
I also bought a weapon in the shop called "Thunder" (looks like an electric guitar) that deals melee damage to the enemies.
So killing enemies with that weapon caused a lot of eggs to drop. There might be other weapons that deal melee damage as well, but this is what I found super early in the game in my third run.

OK people,
for anyone who is still interested in this achievement and can't get it to work i managed to get it yesterday after trying a bunch of different methods.
Here is what worked.
Firstly ,you need to have unlocked the cube that appears randomly in the shop to refresh the items for sale.
Play on easy difficulty and try to gather as many coins as possible in the first few levels ,only spend them on something that will make it easier to accumulate more coins as you play.
The exceptions being "lipstick" which replenishes the shop and "firecrackers".
If you get the lipstick item early great as that means you will only need one shop later with the throw-able cube, if not you will need two.
Once you have plenty of coins (i'd recommend at least 300) you want the shop on the level to have the throw-able cube,keep re-rolling the shop items until you get the "frostfire gun and the "firecrackers"
If you don't get these items before your coins run out you can quit to menu then continue from start of level and try again until you do.
Once you have frostfire and firecrackers together you can now start to accumulate the eggs.
In one of the larger combat rooms leave a creature alive at one side, move away so you don't kill it and start generating items with the frostfire/firecarackers combo.
Pick up all the eggs that appear (you will fill up on everything else too,especially more coins),I picked up at least 200 eggs.
Now that you have a huge trail of eggs head back to the shop with the cube (if you had the lipstick item),if not continue on to next levels where hopefully the shop will have another cube.
Use the cube again until the "double yokes" item appears,buy it and apply and hopefully the achievement will pop.
If you get to the stage where you have all the eggs and need a second shop with a cube but it doesn't appear ,quit to menu and continue from level start and go back to shop until the cube is there ,i think it's random each time if the cube is there or not.

Thanks it worked

Thanks! I did work. Was a bit of a rng pain, since the cubes where rare and far between. Getting two in a single run took a dozen runs or so.
But the achievement is unlocked! So thanks! Great find!

While the achievement description is accurate, just to clarify: you do NOT need to have 50 eggs/pets on you at once, and you do NOT need to hatch 50 eggs, whether successful or not. You just need to collect a total of 50 over the course of an entire run.
As you might expect, this achievement is reliant on quite a bit of luck. However, there are many things you can do to increase the odds of success:
to kill all enemies to increase the amount of eggs you get.
As you might expect, this achievement is reliant on quite a bit of luck. However, there are many things you can do to increase the odds of success:
- Play as Ming, who is unlocked in the fifth skill tree. He starts with two eggs, giving you a leg up right from the start
- Play on Easy so you don't have to worry about dying on a good run, and don't hesitate to use the Save Reload Exploit to save a good run
- Plan to take the run at least to Athena/Ares to give yourself the maximum number of floors to find eggs
- If you have lots of unused/extra gems you haven't spend in the upgrade tree, consider spending them on the Knife and Fork item from the statue just before the abyss. This item is extremely useful, because every time you kill an enemy with melee damage, you have a chance to get an egg. If you don't buy it for use before starting, keeping an eye out for it throughout your run
- From the skill trees, you absolutely want to have unlocked the orange paint on blocks. These adds lots of extra drops to each floor, whether it be eggs directly or more resources to find eggs. You also should have all of the different types of barrels, and at least the two types of switches (the one you can use if you take no damage, and the other you can use if you have full health). These bonus rooms have a chance for eggs or more resources. Lastly, absolutely have the Gashapon unlocked, which is the egg vending machine
- Turn off all game rooms. The gamble of money isn't worth it. Better to spend money on stuff at the store to get you more eggs, or to buy resources to open more chests and walls
- Fully explore every floor, and do so before using any consumables (money, grenades, keys). After you've killed all enemies and opened up all rooms, make efficient use of your consumables to open as many chests, walls, etc, as you can. For example, use grenades first one grenade barrels, since you're guaranteed to get a grenade back plus more, and so on
- Aim to raise your Wisdom on each floor. The Athena rooms are good because you can get another item, which could be a game changer, but also because you want the Athena Token so you get another floor to look for eggs
- Prioritize spending money on eggs at Gashapon pods and shops. Those are guaranteed eggs that you should never pass up
- During each run, prioritize getting a weapon that deals melee damage. This is important so that if you buy or find Knife and Fork, you've got the pair you need to make this achievement far more likely
- The absolute best item to find on a run for this achievement is Double Yolks. It doubles how many eggs you have. Obviously this item is useless if you have no eggs, but if you can find it late in a run, it's basically a guarantee for this achievement
- Other extremely useful items are the Rocket Mod, Popcorn, or Mine. Basically, anything that gives you unlimited explosions so you aren't entirely reliant on grenades. Having an unlimited amount means you can break every wall, open every stone chest, and blast apart all stone blocks, drastically increasing the likelihood of finding eggs. Also keep an eye out for the Hacking Tool if you're consistently low on keys, as it gives you 99 keys.
to kill all enemies to increase the amount of eggs you get.
