My hen suddenly has laid

[Marcuschicken]

Hi there, Im kind of new to raising chickens and my Bantam hen has just laid a bunch.
Im not sure what I should do.

She keeps laying and Im going to bring her in and keep her in a rabbit cage.
Im going keep her under the heater since the eggs might need the extra heat.
Is that a good Idea? Also, how long does it usually take for the eggs to hatch?
Thankyou.

Couple of questions...

First, do you have a rooster? If not, the eggs aren't fertile and won't hatch.

Second, do you want baby chicks? If not, take the eggs and eat them.

Third... not a question... but your hen shouldn't require extra heat. Her body will protect the eggs. Just make sure she's somewhere draft free with access to water and food nearby.
