When you are reading the Data from the DataStore, it looks like you are expecting to receive a table of EggNames, which represent the Eggs the player has collected. When you write the data, however, you are attempting to write the BoolValues that lie in the Eggs folder straight to the DataStore, which is not possible at all.
You will need to change how you structure your saving function to look at all of the Eggs in the Eggs folder, see if their value is true, and then store the name of the egg (if the value is true) into a table.
