I went to my friend today and he gave me 18 fertile hen eggs, and he gave me 3 fertile duck eggs as well and I don't want them to go to waste, as I also wanted to hatch them so what do I do, can I hatch them together or what.
(I have a sixty egg incubator so space isn't a problem) Help!

You can incubate them together, but chickens hatch in 21 days, most ducks in 28.

Tell us what breed ducks and the duck experts will help you along.

Im not sure he just handed me them as we were driving of i didn't have time to ask him but i can send u a picture of them if it will help, and do i just put them in a the same time as the chicks, and then move the chicks out when they hatch

I know where you are, we are in Littlestown, if you hadn't already guessed

So not far at all!

I have been to Littlestown a time or two.

Same with us and Hampton. I think that is where my cousin (lives in hunters town), gets pizza from. We have gone thru there when going to Apple valley and taking "scenic" routes

Scenic, meaning sorta lost

I hatch separately from incubating. There will be people on here later who do multiple hatches in one incubator as well as multi species. They will chime in in time, I'm sure.
