Well couplemonths back i hatched my first chicken eggs, so now i am getting cocky and have 3 turkey eggs and 9 chicken eggs in bator. Was told by wife they have to be in basement this time.
Well wish me luck

You do realize that chicks and poults have different hatch dates right? Chicks: 21 days, Poults 28 days. Did you set the Turkey eggs 7 days before you put the Chicken eggs in? saladin

Okay, so I assume you're running at about 99.5 temp and about 40ish for humidity, right? So, on day 18 lock 'em down and run the humidity up to the lower 60s. When those chicken eggs hatch get them out as quickly as possible (wait until they're all hatched) and dial that humidity back. Day 25 lock 'em down again with your humidity in the 60s and let's hope those turkey eggs are okay. I did the same thing last year, lost two and saved one.
Good luck

Pull the chicken eggs on day 18 and put them in a hatcher if you have one. If not make one or scour craigslist for something cheap.

Even if you leave them all together during your chicken hatch the turkeys will probably be fine.
