The egg nests are actually small buckets (of a kind) where Mudokons store various fruits and berries and such. The most common thing they collect is a kind of thick grass that they use to weave the outside edge of the basket every time they need to use it. This makes the baskets more efficient because a) the load they carry from harvesting to the village stores includes most of the weight of the basket, and b) it’s a lot lighter to carry back to the harvest.
For some reason Resurrection Eggs favour these baskets as points of Egg Manifestation. This is possibly due to the high amounts of Spooce Mudokons earn (by doing Quarmic deeds, as opposed to harvesting SpooceShrubs, which are too large for the baskets) by sustainably harvesting plants for the village.
