Adding more eggs in the incubator?

[Savethereptiles]

Two weeks ago I added 10 Pekin duck eggs into my incubator and without thinking much about it about a week ago I added 15 more. I'm just now thinking about this but could the extra humidity I have to add for the first clutch to hatch mess up the second clutch?

You should not have done that. Now when hatch day comes the older ones need higher humidity and not turning. At the same time the newer eggs need lower humidity and they will still need turning.

Should I move them in to a different incubator??

But I have also been hand turning them

Then turning will not be a problem. However higher humidity will drown the younger eggs. If you have another incubator on hand I would move them there. If not I would try to hatch with a regular humidity.

I will move them in to another incubator, but do you know if the Little Giant still air incubator can hatch Duck eggs I have used it for chickens and turkeys but I don't know about ducks. But thank you for the advice

I am not sure since I do not own the incubator. Also, as a read back through my posts, I sound rude. I am sorry if I came off that way to you. Just trying to give what little advice I can!

I didn't think you sounded rude, and also thank you for the advice it is a big help
