I bought a small group of red cherry shrimp one of them has a odd shape. Can it be that she maybe carrying eggs. What to expect if she is carrying eggs. How to raise the tiny crustaceans?

Yes, she does look berried.

I don't particularly do anything for baby shrimp. If conditions are good for adult shrimp they are usually good for baby shrimp. You might want to look at your filtration to ensure it isn't going to suck in baby shrimp, but even there, shrimp tend to reproduce in such numbers you can often afford to lose some into the filtration.
