Can you hatch ducks and turkeys together since they both hatch at around 28 days?

Yes although the ducks may do better with a different humidity than the turkeys.

Thanks. Admittedly, my humidity support in the hovabator is primitive and all five of my hygrometers don't agree on the humidity. I will test them and get one close to use.

It isn't critical to know the actual humidity. Many people weigh or candle their eggs for proper weight loss which equals proper air cell size and raise or lower their humidity according to the development without ever knowing what the actual humidity reading is.

They all hatch at the same humidity...
