Incubating chickens eggs & ducks eggs together????

[Hope Hughes]

I want to hatch both and I know they are different times frame.
Just curious if anyone has had great success incubating both?
I have 4 duck eggs (5 if I wait til morning) and 6 or 7 chicken eggs to go in.
Any input? ​

The key to incubating eggs together that have different incubation times is to put the eggs with the shorter incubation time in later so that both are ready for lockdown at the same time.

Duck eggs other than Muscovies typically take 28 days for incubation. Chicken eggs take 21 days so put the chicken eggs in 7 days after starting the duck eggs. They don't require exactly the same conditions but can be incubated and hatched together.

Thanks I have hatched both just never together and the humidity is what was kinda throwing me. Wasn't sure if they could share the same %. I will give it a try thanks! ​
