Turkey and Chicken eggs?

[sevenchickens]

Can you incubate Turkey and chickens eggs together if you start the chicken eggs a week after the turkey eggs?

I am doing that exact thing right now !! Also have goose and duck eggs all in sportsmn wiht my chicken eggs . All are doing great so far. I moved chicken eggs to lock down on Sat. and the rest will go to lockdown later . Good luck

Oh goody, is this the first time you're doing it? Let me know how it comes out.

I sure hope so because that's what I'm about to do. Set the turkey eggs then a week later set the chicken eggs so that (in theory at least) they all hatch at the same time.

Yes, I did it last year! Double check your timing tho! I put my chicken eggs in a day later than I should have and then, being the rule breaker I am, I took the poults out of the bator cause they were so darn cute and shrink-wrapped my chicks

it all worked out fine, i helped the shrink-wrapped chicks out of their shells

just a word of caution

Thanks for the word of caution. So, would it be correct to put in the chicken eggs on day 7 of the turkey incubation?

I have chicken, duck, button and coturnix eggs in mine together right now.. I hope it works for them...

I do it frequently. It worked quite well.
