hatching different breeds at the same time?

Hi, I have had my 18 turkey eggs in for 7 days tomorrow. I plan to candle them. I am wondering if it is O.K. to fill my incubator with other eggs for the rest of the time. Will the turkeys harm the other chicks at hatching time? Or would they all be O.K.

The turkeys shouldn't harm the other chicks, however you don't want a staggered hatch. If you can put in eggs that will hatch on the same day, or at least within a day or so of the turkeys you should be fine.
