I will be adding my chicken eggs Tuesday. I picked a few up today and yesterday to add to the duck eggs. Anyone here hatch them together? I have read mixed reviews on it but I'm still going to try.

I did it once successfully but the staggered hatching was super stressful to me. Im not super experienced by any means, and it worked but i had to assist my duck eggs. Chickens came out okay but ducks got sticky.

Hatch day should be around 3/29. If Fizzgig makes it, it’ll hatch around 3/21.

All labeled, weighed and chart is done. Fizzgig lost a tiny bit too much, but not adding water quite yet. Rather dry incubate them all if possible. Humidity seems to hang out between 25% and 30%. Temperature with one egg in there was ranging between 97 and 98. It’s taking a bit to get up to temp with all 7 in there.

Notice anything wrong/different?

Hatch together sure. Brood together.... ehhhhh ducks are messy! We have Way too many ducks due over the next month so I guess we will become experts at brooding ducks. Yuck. Lol
The ducks are For DD's project and she is concerned that she will not have enough. Ummmm there are over 30 already incubating now , sigh if they all make it I may go broke trying to feed em

If you add the chicken eggs a week behind the duck they will hatch together. I think that is what was being suggested?

Can't wait to see your hatch. I noticed you're turning one egg a different way.
