Hello I am in the incubator stages 🐔

[Ted88]

Hello my name is Ted I am wondering about an incubator query it is about chickens and quail in the same incubator which where added a few days apart seeing as quail should hatch on day18 and chickens on day 21
Just wondering is there any issues with this as I am unsure if it is hygienic or safe for the chicks any help would be appreciated thanks

You can hatch them at the same time. You'd put the chicken eggs in 3 days earlier then the quail eggs. That way lockdown can be on the same day for both. It should be safe for both. Good luck with your hatch!

I would be worried about the size difference between the two birds, hopefully the little quail babies would not be trampled on. Other than that it should work as the above posters have described...
