ProfessorThe reason that the eagles did not help was because they were sure they would not succeed without all of them dying, in the Hobbit it is shown that they tend to avoid fighting, and wouldn't even take Bilbo over a camp of Goblins because it was dangerous. In short, the eagles were sure the Great Eye would see them, and they would get shot out of the sky, thus getting the ring to Sauron.

The Hobbit when all hope seemed lost in chapter 17 who appeared on the scene to help?
At the end of chapter 17 of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, when it seems as if the goblins will destroy the elves, dwarves, and men, it is the Eagles who appear in the nick of time to aid in the battle, led by the great Eagle of the Misty Mountains.
Were do the eagles in The Hobbit live?
The eagles, having no immediate allies, do not wilfully go and help out others. Gandalf was the only reason the eagles helped out the Company. The Eagles would make off with the woodmen's sheep and livestock for food, and the woodmen learnt to defend against this, and made great bows of yew. Therefore, even though they would not be stealing livestock as they would just be dropping the Company off, the men would get the wrong impression and open fire on the eagles.Men shoot at them with their bows and attack them.Because of the great bows the men employ to protect their flocks. They think the eagles steal their sheep, and sometimes they do.
