The claim is 1.4 million eggs that have hatched into tadpoles. For some species of frog, the average number of eggs laid exceeds 10,000.
If we’re talking of such a species and all of them were to hatch, that would take less than 140 female frogs.

Having lived in areas where these frogs are common, I don't believe the numbers for a second.
