Why do I have 2 dragon eggs?

You have 2 dragon eggs because, in Bedrock Edition, two dragon eggs generate on top of the exit portal; one generates when the first ender dragon is defeated, while the other generates when the second ender dragon is defeated, making it a unique feature of this edition compared to Java Edition where only one egg is generated. This difference in game mechanics between the two editions can lead to variations in gameplay and item collection, including the possession of multiple dragon eggs.
