I have incubated duck eggs successfully many times. I usually incubate duck and chicken eggs together with no problem. But now I have some turkey eggs so I'm wondering can I incubate them with duck eggs? Isn't the temp and humidity about the same?

Too many chickens and ducks, 3 rabbits, 14 turkeys, 3 dogs and 2 beyond spoiled pot bellied pigs! Oh and 2 kids and one nearly perfect boyfriend!
