How many goose eggs will fit in a hovabator 1583 without a turner?

[Friend2Fowl]

The most goose eggs I've hatched at one time was 6, so I'm really not sure. I'm thinking like 12 or 16? I am wanting to order a bunch of geese eggs, to hopefully hatch more than one at a time

I don't have goose egg turner racks for my hovabator, so I will be turning by hand. Thanks

I think if you're turning by hand you should be able to fit more eggs than if you had a turner. The hovabator is one of those tabletop styrofoam kind right? I don't see why you couldn't fit at least 18 eggs, but I have no experience with goose eggs....

Yes, it's one of the tabletop styrofoam deals, though it is one of the nicer ones

I'm thinking the turner holds 16? So I should be able to fit 20, I think. But I don't want to order 20 and find out I'm wrong

That would be a mess!
