Well I woke up this morning and I got a big suprise, I thought my turtle was a female but was not sure, now I know she is because there were 2 eggs in the water. They were not fertilised so I know I did not kill 2 turtles. So my Question is, is it ok that she started eating the eggs and will that give her some nutrients that she needs? Please help with this question

Yes, it's ok... but take them out and discard when possible.

Also, make sure a steady supply of cuttlebone is available during this time.
