Average clutch is 3-8 eggs. After she's done laying, she'll incubate them intently for about 23 days. After that, you will probably see her spending more time outside her nest, that would be the time to remove it and clean her cage, change it all around, and avoid giving her anything that she can perceive as nesting material. :)
