Can I incubate eggs that cots have JUST begun to lay?

[QChickieMama]

I mean, I have a set of 7-wk-old cots that are laying right now. Should I wait a few weeks before incubating their eggs? Or would it be all the same if I incubate these beginner eggs?

Obviously, some of the eggs are too teeny to be viable, but the larger ones should be good?

Well, my first week of newly laid eggs were not fertile. Testing fertility now of eggs after they've been laying for a month.

I would wait at least 2 weeks after they have been breeding and laying before incubation. It takes a while for both birds to get into the groove of breeding and getting those fertile eggs.
