Ok so Ive been hatching lots of chicken eggs, I have a cabinet incubator that I have the eggs in for the first 18 days than I move them to a hatcher I have.
So I know NOTHING about duck eggs, oh take that back I know they dont hatch in 21 days. They are scoveys so I need all the help I can get.

I am currently doing that. I set both at the same time, I spray the duck eggs every few hours to keep the humidity up. Moved the chicken to lock down a few days ago, waiting for them to hatch. The duck eggs will go in lock down next monday, day 25 for them. I'm on day 21 for the chicken eggs, but I think they are going to take another day to hatch. The duck eggs are developing wonderfully. You might check the duck section for advice. This is my first time trying to hatch either
 
The lady I get my eggs from hatches everything in the same incubator for the first 18 days, then moves them to the hatcher. She gave me a duck egg and told me it should be good in the same incubator. So we'll see.
