It could be normal double clutching, which is what I hope it is. Or. If its stuck eggs. I hope they work out or are absorbed, both of which is possible.
If you see her pushing as if shes attempting to get them out, take her to the vet quickly.
I came up with a simple method to help females pass held eggs, decades ago. And like now, folks all told me it would not work, including vets. That was to aspirate the held eggs. That is take a large gauge needle and syringe and remove some of the fluid inside the egg. It reduced the size and broke the connection to the walls of the oviduct. You see, a common reason for egg binding is infection. The shell walls will adhere to the walls of the oviduct. This worked really well. It is easy to locate the stuck eggs and I would enter about two scale rows up. No organs or large blood vessels there. It worked really well, and its no a common method used by vets. Hopefully its a second clutch.
