I have heard the saying 一窝猪 yī wō zhū when describing a family or group of people who are all 属猪 (have pig as their zodiac sign).
Is this something that can be applied to other animals e.g. 一窝龙 or 一窝虎?
Just an update to address some of the answers: This has always been said either jokingly or in a self-deprecating way as a joke and amongst good company. Not something that has been said in a sarcastic or insulting way.
To answer your question, I think it's good to understand the meanings of "窝" mentioned here.
Three possible meanings of “窝" used in this case:
to refer to several animal's babies who are born at the same time.
This could happen to the mouse,pig, rabit，chicken ,etc. For these animals, the mother animal usually can give birth to(or brood, as a hen does) several babies at a time; but for animals like the cattle and tiger, the mother animal usually(exceptions are rare to see) can give birth to only one baby, so it sounds very strange to say "一窝牛" or "一窝虎", but sounds good to say"一窝兔子”,"一窝小鸡".
In this case, because it's used for animials, and more importantly, parents and children always can't be born at the same time, by the same mother. You should not use 窝 to refer to a family, even in a figurative way.
to refer to a group of bad people or things.
一窝土匪 a group of bandits
Remeber, Bad people and things, so 窝 is also not acceptable in this case.
animal's burrow or nest
In this case, 窝 seems accpetable to mean "house, the place where a man lives ", and could be used to refer to a family since all the members are in the same house.but as previous answers pointed out, it may offend someone. Don't risk saying that way!
I have never spoken that way or heard of someone saying that way in the real life.
So how to describe a family when all the family members are of the same zodiac animal?
I would like to say"他们一家都属[X]" or "他们一家都是属[X]的". Here, X is the name of the animal, 鼠，牛，虎，兔，etc.
In this context 窝 would be equivalent to the English word ‘litter,’ in reference to a number of young animals at one birth, hence 一窝猪. You may also say ‘a litter of tiger cubs.’ However, since the parity of the mythological dragon is not clear at the moment, I would suggest refraining from using this measure word unless you intend to say ‘a litter of newborn dragons.’
You can use this kind of expression with your friends, but keep in mind, never use this to describe a stranger's family, especially 一窝猪 because Chinese people regard 猪 as the symbol of laziness and stupid.
As for 一窝龙 and 一窝虎，we don't often use these expressions. Just as I said, 一窝猪 is just a kind of expression which is only used with your intimate friends.
user911865's answer is good. I'll suggest not to use it at all. This can be easily misused. Maybe it can be only used when you have become part of family, or at least you have become a very intimate friend with every member of the family (not only the listener).
"窝" is used to refer to multiple animals born together. If the animal is born one at a time, "窝" is not used. "龙" is a imaginary creature, we don't use "窝" on "龙". "一窝虎" is possible but weird. Maybe "一窝小老虎". "一窝马" is incorrect, as they are born one at a time.
