I'd try it. What do you have to lose?

I put it in with a EE yesterday, 15 eggs in the incubator
If the "double Yoker" hatches with two live chicks- I could get 16 out of 15 eggs

how long can i add eggs to my bator after ive started the first batch?? i have 35 in there right now and still have room for 13 more. how should/can i time it??

I would reccomend staying within a 1-4 day range, that way your already hatched chicks won't be that much older and stronger than your newly hatched ones. For bantams I would say 1-2 days, because they are smaller and may need to be deprecated from older "Large Fowl chicks
