Just my own personal observation.. the eggs appear to be covered with rather..sharp...looking crystals - if I were a blue dragon mother I'd be rather cranky too! LOL
You can kill Coldarra Wyrmkin and they drop the Frozen Axes to break the eggs right outside nexus

What to do
Description
Our goals here are simple. We are to remain hidden from Malygos, observe his brood, and thwart his efforts wherever possible. To that end, I have a task for you. The blues are laying their eggs at the base of the Nexus. Exposure to so much arcane energy will surely make them hatch sooner, and there's no telling what effect it will have on their spawn. I don't intend to find out. Slay the local wyrmkin and use their frozen axes to break the eggs.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Basic Training
This is war, mortal, and we are the tip of the spear. Your little spats over land or currency pale in comparison to this conflict. We face the aspect Malygos and his entire blue dragonflight. All you need to know is that if he is victorious, this world shall be no more.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Drake Hunt
The blues have begun to cover their drakes in mysterious runes. I must discover their significance. <Raelorasz pokes his hand with a spear and coats the tip with his blood.> Take this and use it on one of them. Wait for it to become subdued, then bring it here to me before it expires.
