Mine are all together. Chickens went into lockdown today. I just stopped the turner. The ducks aren't due for another week. All seem to be just fine. All developed nicely & have movement.

OMG! This is information I didn't need to have! I can forsee an incubator with chicks, ducks, guineas, turkeys and peafowl all timed to hatch out together!

I originally set 4 peafowl, 2 guinea, 15 button quail, 20 cortunix, 20 chicken, and 2 duck eggs.
All were shipped.
The pea eggs had some air cell issues. 2 candled clear and 2 had bloodrings (early quitters)at day 10.
The chicken eggs were badly damaged in transit. 5 were cracked with one being smashed. All have aircell problems. I patched the cracked eggs with nail polish. 8 were clears. 3 ended up with bloodrings. I put 9 into lockdown tonight. 2 of those were patched cracked eggs.
Both duck eggs are going strong. One guinea egg was clear, the other has a lot of movement in it.
The buttons started hatching at 8am and I noticed some of the cortunix have pipped.
Now, mind you, I have a cabinet incubator and a cabinet hatcher, as well.
But it is definitely fun and I'm enjoying the different species in different stages of development. It makes the time go so much faster when they have different hatch dates.
