Are they fertile eggs? Is she housed with a male? Did she brumate? Too much egg laying can be a serious health issue.

yeah there fertile, the pair is housed together, they have never been brumed ... there my sons pets, I figured the beardies would be a good starting project for him as there friendly, not to difficult to care for and are easy to breed.
Man was I wrong, they require so much care and attention compared to the animals I personally keep, and they breed like crazy ... costing me a fortune to take care of the babies, I sell them off slowly but the selling price comes no were even close to the cost of feeding ... I wish my Gila's or Dwarf Croc's would produce like these Beardies!!

I freeze the eggs after they are laid. It is a humane way to dispose of unwanted eggs. Constant egg laying is very hard on the female and will greatly shorten her lifespan. I would recommend you separate the dragons.
