I don't have a ton of experience, but every time I have palpated, the follicles have been about the same size and roughly the same distance apart. I'm thinking you might be feeling urates, poo or a mix of that with a few follicles.

As for the weight issue, any female your breeding will pig out until she is gravid, so I would keep a close eye on that. The eggs will suck nutrition out of them but if they have growing eggs I usually don't see weight loss. It should be weight gain.
