Can I?

Put chicken and duck eggs in at the same time?

I have done it. It works best under a real bird.

Well yeah it does, but none of my breeds are broody types. In two years I have only had one broody bird. Even my silkie isn't broody!!!!

Duck eggs take longer to incubate. Usually 28 days for pekin and smaller type ducks and 35 I believe for muscovy. I would set your duck eggs first, then add the chicken eggs a week later, so they all hatch together.

thanks!!! This is a new dilemma for me - a mystery person sent me ducks eggs and they are at the PO waiting to be picked up! Some nice, kind person out there made my day!

I hatched a duck with my chicken egg..I didnt know it was a duck egg but none the less Im glad that egg peeped loud as I was throwing it away on day 26!
