I just got Six unecxpected mallard duck eggs, and i have 30 button eggs comming next week. I have two incubators but one of them takes a while longer to get the temp. stableized. I would rather not get the other one running but if i have to i will. Do you think they will fit together?

I would say no, only because ducks take 28 days and Quail take at least a week less.

Ok rethinking here, if you put the duck eggs in and then wait one week and then put in the quail eggs you should be fine. Although I would not want the ducks hatching with the quail because of the size difference. I would be afraid the ducks would crush the baby quail.
