It will take her about 7-10 days after they mate to lay her firsst egg then if this is her first clutch then she may not lay but one and then quit laying (mine has just started laying her third clutch and they haven't ever hatched before) Before they will hatch the male will have to fertilize the eggs. after they are fertilized then in about 21 days they should hatch.

7-10 days after mating she will lay her eggs. Give the pair a good pellet diet, 10% seeds, 10% fruits and veggies and chopped cooked egg with the crumbled shell for the nutrients, protein and calcium needed to lay healthy eggs. Have a tweet time.

If there will be eggs, it should be within a week. There may not be eggs though. Some birds will mate without producing eggs, mine sure do!
If you are planning to breed, please read the following articles first.

Please make sure that your pair are on a good breeder diet for a while before allowing them to breed. A breeding diet is different than a maintence diet as you will find in the articles.

Tonight or tomorrow morning. It takes 21 days for the eggs to hatch. Make sure they have a good diet., get some powdered baby bird food. Mix it with their regular food, make sure they get veggies. They will feed the baby, just make sure you pet it and play with it, within the first week of hatching.

If the eggs are for your consumption put them in the fridge within 24 hours. Hard boiled the eggs are excellent in salads
