First clutch, semi urgent question

Hey all, woke up this morning to my massive female pastel having dropped about 3 eggs approximately at 9:30AM PST. Its now 2 o clock and were looking at 10 eggs, the area just above her vent still seems rather swollen. She is 4 years old and was pushing 3400 grams before laying and has never been bred before. Were at about 5 hours into laying and i was wondering how long i should wait before removing the eggs? i have an incubator and boxes set up and ready but should i wait until she is done laying? Or should i be pulling eggs as they come out? Cant seem to find a ton of info on this so here i am. Also at what point should i be concerned about her being eggbound and contact a vet? Again just having trouoble finding this specific info out there, they all just seem to refer to discovering a clutch that had been laid over night. Any info or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks all, ibp

I would pull the eggs before you go to sleep and put them in the incubator. Check tomorrow morning if she has laid the last one. If she has not: then I would be concerned.

Congrats btw :)

Remove the egg when all have been laid, removing them before that if there is still one or two to be laid could delay things and you do not want that.

Awesome, thanks for the info guys. She's up to 12 now!!
