At the moment I have 3 hens and a rooster so I should get good fertility.

I just put in 6 eggs thats a mix of standard sized chickens.

Hey, my chickens should start laying soon(32 weeks) and was wondering if the first eggs they lay will be good for the bator? How long should I wait before hatching there eggs?

What incubator consistently gives high hatch rate? Doesn't matter the cost or how much it holds. I'm probably won't be able to get one as I don't have unlimited amount of money just wondering for fun.
