I've collected and set eggs after 48-72 hours with fine results.

The rule of thumb I've used (may not be right) is to keep the hen separate from any other roosters for 3 weeks and then put her with the desired rooster for a week before collecting any "fertile" eggs for hatching to be sure you're getting offspring from that pair. The desired rooster could be with her the whole time but the time frame and keeping her from any other roosters stands. Works for me - YMMV.
