Staggered Hatch of Chicken and Quail Eggs?

[Just Rosie]

Hello all,

I am curious if this would work. I set some silkie chicken eggs 4 days ago. That means they have (roughly) 17 days to go.
Could I put some Coturnix quail eggs in there as well, now? Since they will have 17-18 days til hatch, it’s not really even staggered. I would lock them down on the same day.

Is this recommended? Why or why not?

Yes, that should be fine. Good luck.
