HI,
I put this on the chicken thread and they said it might be better here.
So I have some skovy eggs and want to put them with my chicken eggs in my cabinet incubator. Than at the end move them to a hatcher. Can I do this?
Ive never had ducks before. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks
 
I dont know what the profesionals will say but I have done it before. The temp for them is relatively the same and the humidity isnt to far off. I just kinda try and keep it between the 2 humidity suggestions. Then when you but them in the hatcher make the humidity on the ducks a little higher than normal and the chickens a little lower. I usually do this with bantam eggs since they seem to like having a higher humidity anyway but I have done it with large fowl eggs as well, and it turned out good. I had a 90 % hatch rate on both the chickens and the ducks. Good luck!
