can you hatch a pullet's first egg? *UPDATE* (pics added)

My self-blue OEGB laid her FIRST egg the day before I planned to set some Silkie eggs. So, it the incubator it went. It is on day 4 now and is looking perfect. Should it hatch alright? I am worried about the egg being too small, or the yolk being too small, etc.

Try it & report back.

People can and do hatch out pullet eggs, but the hatch rate is usually lower because of the smaller size.

teehee... I will get pictures of it a little later. It is the first little peeper to hatch, I am waiting on 9 more (all Silkies). I am afraid to open the bator too much b/c I'm having a hard time keeping the humidity up.
