How many eggs fit?

This may have already been asked but when I tried searching I kept getting an error. So with that being said, for a typical size ball egg, how many will fit usually in a 6 qt tub?

The most I've had was 9, and 9 can be a tight fit. I use the substrateless method, though, so maybe with substrate it would be different. It also depends on if the clutch is stuck together or not.

Usually for up to 8 eggs I use a 6/7 quarts tubs, for 9 and over I use 12/15 quarts tubs

I built my incubator to only fit the 6 qt. tubs... I'll have to separate the clutch into two tubs if I get more than 9..

I use 7qt tubs and 9 eggs is the max but I usually stick to 8 unless they are clumped together.

What brand of tubs tubs are you all referring to or dies it matter? Anyone care to post a picture of a tub all set up, preferably substrate-less.
