Can you incubate 12 silkie eggs with 12 regular chicken eggs in the same incubator at the same time?

Hypothetical question: I know the nurture right 360 only holds 22 eggs, but was wondering if anyone has tried 12 regular and 12 silkie bantam eggs at the same time? Do bantam eggs need different temp or humidity conditions? Would they be okay growing up together in a brooder? Just wondering if this is even possible?

Yes, its fine to incubate together. There is no difference.

I have done it without any cause for concern on a regular basis.

40-45% is a GOOD humidity medium for most all eggs.

Happy hatching!

Do you do 40-45% the entire time or do you raise it during lockdown?

Raise for lockdown, aiming between 60-65%.
