Hi have you got a nesting box if you do,put it up and old cardborad box would work to, line them with nesting material this should stop the eggs breaking
do you want your lovebirds to have chicks if not there medication you can give the to stop laying.
keep feeding them the same things you can also add cooked rice and veggies, birdie bread and egg food which you can bye from shops.
I would chuck broken eggs as they can coarse bacteria infections.
If you hold the eggs up to a keyring torch you can check if there fertilized.
Read up on hand feeding and and chick feeding formula that's all the info i can offer hope it helps :)

Female Lovebirds can and will lay eggs together. IF the egg on the bottom isn't broken, you can place it in one of the boxes or whatever your using right now. A picture would be very helpful!

2 Indian Ringnecks, Tiki (DH's) and Pippin (mine), 1 lovebird, Gemma (DD's) and 1 in birdy Heaven... RIP, Wilbur.
10 lovebirds for someone new to lovebirds seems a bit excessive, IMO... You aren't trying to be a breeder are you? I hope not... *worried*
