Would this be a problem?

I have an r-com mini. It holds 7 quail eggs if I use the turner.
I ordered eggs and have a lot more than 7. Would it hurt anything to not use the turner, turn by hand, and pack the eggs in closely together so I can incubate 15 or so instead? These are button and coturnix quail eggs, btw.

And I have to turn 3 or 4 times a day, correct? How much do you turn them?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

You should be fine...I don't use a turner...I turn mine 3 times per day....they turn out just fine .

when you turn them, do you completely flip them or just tilt a little?
