11 eggs, including 2 turkey eggs...

[littlechickenmama17]

I am incubating 11 eggs in my incubator, 2 of them are turkey eggs. I didn't research enough when I found that they incubate for 28 days and most people, when putting the eggs together, put turkey eggs in first for 7 days then put the chicken eggs in, so they would hatch around the same time. Well, I didnt do that! What do I do? What "schedule" can I use to hatch the chicken and turkey eggs together succesfully?? HELP!!!!

It's too late for this batch. Next time remember to start the turkey eggs a week before the chicken eggs.

Yeah it's too late unless you can get another incubator to hatch in. But you never know. If I couldn't borrow, make or buy another incubator, I would keep going with the turkey eggs after the chicks hatch. You might get lucky

Wait, can I let the turkey eggs go into lockdown the same time the chicken eggs go into lockdown? Like, if the chicken eggs go into lockdown on day 19 and turkey eggs are supposed to go into lockdown on day 25, can turkey eggs do that?

They shouldn't, but you may not have a choice. They probably won't make it, but you never know. Stranger things have happened

Yes. The only issue will be whether or not the air cells are big enough at the time. The lack of turning is not an issue. You can aim for the lower end of lockdown humidity rather than the high end.
