I have muscovy and turkey eggs staggered in the bator. The turkeys are due for lockdown 5/25 and the muscovies 5/30. When i lockdown the turkeys can i stop turning the duck eggs? It would be 8 days before they are due to hatch. I dont want to have to open the bator at all after i lock down the turkeys to turn the ducks. Also would the natural rise in humidity when the turkeys are hatching cause any problems for the ducks? I am able to seperate them so the turkeys dont trample the duck eggs. I'm hoping i dont need to rush to build a seperate hatcher to pull this off.

Also i have a bunch of coturnix eggs that i can hatch with the turkeys if i put them in by tommorrow. Will the turkey chicks be to big and rough with the tiny coturnix chicks? Thanks.
