Humidity for chicken and ducks eggs?? Please help me.

[Namble]

I am going to incubate chicken eggs and duck eggs together, starting tomorrow. So what should I keep the humidity at? 70-75 sound about right? And of course the temp is at 99.5

Thanks in advance, Grant

What breed of duck....I ask because duck eggs take longer to incubate than chicken eggs...Also, to start, humidity should be 45-50%...then on lockdown the humidity goes up to 65-75%....

I have Mallards and Pekins

Mallards and Pekins take 28 days to incubate....

Well can't I just take the chicks out after they hatch and leave the ducks in for another week? Different people have told me different different humidity levels so I'm kinda confused as to what i should keep it at at this point. I am planning to put them in in about half an hour. Oh and my humidity right now is 75%, yikes that's a little high!
