There are 2 likely possibilities: she may have eggs stuck in which case she is eggbound and needs to see a vet (though you could try a warm soak). Or, she may be ovulating, in which case, what you're seeing is not mature eggs, but the immature follicles. It is not unusual for a female not to eat much sometimes for a few months during ovulation. If what you see is large and whitish, it's probably eggs, if it's round an pink, it's probably follicles. If you google "ovulation" and "eggs" in you may be able to see someone else's pictures.

How long has it actually been since you noticed the "eggs"? If it's only been 2 weeks, you still have some time to go before she's going to lay. It's not unusual for females to go off of food while gravid. Also, make sure she has proper temps and a laying box.
