Incubating chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys together?

[Serina81]

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?

Up the humidity to about 65% for hatch... That shouldn't hurt the other eggs...

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.
