Every time I've incubated I've done both together. My chicken eggs this time are buff orps and buff orp americauna crosses. My duck eggs are mallard and mallard khaki campbell crosses. Nothing rare in there just trying for more egg layers. I know just because it's always been ok for me doesn't mean it always will be.

Marla, I read in an Incubation book that it is not wise to incubate duck eggs and chicken eggs together. The duck eggs carries a bacteria that is fatal to the chicken embryo's. I have this book in my library and will try to find it. I know there is a lot of people doing this with sucess, but as soon as I would put some of my rare breeds in which duck eggs, I would probaly find out what they ment. Gary
