Can I incubate duck and chicken eggs together?

[iajewel]

I know the humidity is different for a duck egg then a chicken egg and the hatching times are a bit off too, however.. I didn't know if anyone had a trick to it? I have only a dozen duck eggs and would like to fill the bator for the hatch. Is there a way to do both chickens and ducks at the same time?

es.. You can incubate them together but you need to set the duck eggs 7 days before you set the chicken eggs.. Chickens hatch in 21 days whereas ducks hatch in 28... As long as you have them set a week apart, they will hatch at the same time...
