1. As long as you can adjust the temp,the eggs fit the tray and the eggs get turned whether manually or mechanically,there shouldn't be much difference. Most incubators I have seen can accomodate different size eggs.
2. Well, they take different days to hatch and ducks need more humidity. Its best to do one species at a time for best hatch. I had both hatch, both species were in the same incubator. I added extra humidity which the ducks absorbed the humidity the chicken eggs didnt. If you need any help or advice on a brooder oor anything I can help you out. bethbethani@yahoo.com
