your setup sounds fine just make sure the temps don't fluctuate too much. she should lay the rest of the eggs in the next few hours but to be same you might want to leave rher alone till morning? or check at around midnight and disturb her as little as possible. any eggs underneath her will be fine. Remeber not to move them in position as you ransfer to the incubator so you don't drown the embryos.
"I did not put the box in there for her to lay the eggs in and she had them in her cage should I keep the heat lamp off so she can lay the rest in the dark?"
do you mean that she has no nest box? if she doesn't then you should really give her one to lay the rest of her eggs in so that they do not dry out. the heat lamp can stay on as long as you do that.
Good luck with the eggs! i hope all turn out healthy  ----- ~~~Amy~~~
