I can help you a little with 2 species.
Lucilia sericata 18-20 0 C . Egg - 24 hours, larva 4-6- days, pupa 7 days.
Protophormia terranovae about the same.
These cases were not for animals but for man corpses. Possibly it may add you some data. Please note that Lucilia may leg eggs on dying (not dead animal). Some calliphorids lay eggs in animal wounds.
