Ducks and quail at the same time?

This might be a dumb question but here it goes. It’s my first time incubating eggs. I have 10 quail eggs and nine mallard eggs. Can I incubate them together? Or do they both need completely different temperatures and humidity?

The temperature and humidity will be the same. Coturnix hatch much faster so they will be done long before the ducks. You can also stop turning and increase humidity fine for the couple of days for lockdown too.

How is the hatch going?

They are doing great! Quail are going to be due in like 5-7 days!
