i have heard you can do this but if put in at same time and you have to add more humidity 3 days before hatch and chickens hatch first, will it hurt ducks to have humidity higher. they take about a week longer. do i lower humidity slowly back down for ducks after chickens. oh man im lost and worried.
 
Someone had a post about doing chicken and duck eggs on here earlier. Sorry I haven't ever tried duck eggs but maybe find the other post and see how things turn out for them. I would definately try to get the humidity back down after the chickens hatch if the ducks are not due to hatch yet.
 
Some people say don't incubate duck eggs with chicken eggs because the humidity difference but when i got my first incubator at that time i only had one incubator and i had 10 duck eggs in the bator with 4 chicken eggs and 7 duck eggs hatch and 2 chicken eggs hatch as you can see on my BYC page
