How do you incubate different eggs together? I have a GQF sportsman incubator and it automatically turns every 2 hours. Is this okay for chicken eggs? What about temp and humidity?

yesterday, I set chicken eggs and 4 goose eggs together in the same bator (R-com).
I set humidity to 50% since goose eggs need higher humidity. Temp is the same, 99.8F.
When it is 18th day, I will move chicken eggs to hatching incubator and will leave goose eggs in r-com for more incubating.
 
My incubator has a hatching tray at the bottom. Does anything need to be changed when it's hatching time like the humidity?
 
We're doing just that right now. I've got chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys all in my LG still air (modified with a computer fan). I keep the humidity really high since the turkeys and waterfowl like it better that way, it doesn't seem to be hurting the chicken eggs. I move them to another (homemade) incubator as they get ready for lockdown, since I've probably got six different hatch dates going right now. It's a lot of work, but doable.
