Can I Incubate Duck Eggs with Chicken eggs?

[TheLezzyChicks]

I'm wanting to incubate my first spring batch of chicks this Friday and my Swedish Ducks just started laying. I don't even know if the eggs are fertile but I was wanting to experiment with them. Is there different requirements for duck eggs? Is it dangerous to incubate them together? Should i just wait until I can incubate the duck eggs? Thank you for the information guys it's really helpful to a first time chicken farmer <3

Chickens take 21 days, and duck take 28, so I would imagine you could. By the time all the chicks are hatched, your ducks would still not be on lock down (25th day, I think?)

Alright thank you. Do you know if I can keep them at the same temp?

Yup. They both incubate at the same temp.

No problem! Good luck with your incubation.
