hi guys i wondred if any one could shed any light on this
i was looking at p and t poultry web site today when i came across this article below
Batch hatching isn’t always easy without experience, particularly with waterfowl eggs. It is often more worthwhile (and usually cheaper!) to consider buying two or more small incubators and setting one per week. If you do want to batch hatch, consider a cabinet incubator as these can usually be managed more easily to cope with a differing humidity requirements of the batches.
what does it meen differing humidity requirements as i have a brinsea 190 i a use to just save up 130 eggs and set it off
could i be doing some thing wrong
cheers mark

Did they hatch? If so you did it right ;D

Sylvias right, the proofs in the hatch. I mix pheasant and hen eggs and no problems. Ducks I do, do separate for obvious reasons. Last year a neighbour foisted some peacock eggs on me, me being the good natured fool I am incubated them with a dozen mixed hen eggs and no problems again. Its trial and error sometimes but proof is in the chick!
