Hatching Turkey's, Chickens and Golden Pheasants in the same incubator

Hi all,


I have a brinsea octagon 20 eco and I was just wondering how you go about incubating all the eggs listed above at the same time with the all having different lockdown and final turning days


If anyone has any information it would be appreciated thanks

well the incubaton times aren't that longer then each other expecp for the turkeys they take about a week longer https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/incubation i don't know i would personally do them in different incubators but if you only have one. the pheasents and the chickens would go into lockdown two days after each other and the turkeys a week later just get a planing calender and keep track of the dates. good luck

Thanks a lot for the advice!!

I was just wondering on day 18 when the chickens don't need to be turned anymore and the incubator needs to be left alone, the turkeys will still need turning that's the only thing that I am struggling with a plan for, but like you said I may have to invest in one of the smaller incubators to transfer the turkeys to

yeah the turkey and pheasent eggs have to be kept turning until the lockdown day comes.
