When your cockatiel has already laid her egg and there is no nest in her cage?

Eggs can generally withstand a reasonable temperature range when first laid as most birds do not begin to set (sit on the nest full time) until they have a number of eggs. Cockatiels generally lay four to seven eggs. While the ideal situation is to provide a nest before she produces eggs providing a nest and placing the egg in it will probably encourage her to lay any additional eggs in the nest. Finally, since there is no specific mention of whether she has a mate understand that she can produce unfertilized eggs. The Wikipedia site has several articles on Cockatiels.

How do you know when it is time to take the eggs from the hen and eat the egg?

You can take them as soon as they are laid. Usually the hen moves off the nest and leaves the egg. However, if she is broody, then she may sit on it hoping to hatch it. If that is the case, just gently reach beneath the hen and remove the egg. She may peck at you, but that's OK. Once the egg is gone, she'll then give up and move away.
