Hey there, I personally like using 12-15qt tubs for my eggs. As I can usually fit any size clutch in them. Also it depends if I'm using substrate or non-substrate incubation. In the past I have always used substrate incubation and I like bigger tubs when using substrate. The larger the volume of substrate to eggs the wider the range of a buffer zone you have if something goes wrong (ie not enough humidity). This year though Im trying the non-substrate incubation and seems that as long as the clutch fits with out the eggs touching the sides your good. I'm sorry but have nevered used 6qt tubs so can't tell you how many eggs will fit. Again this is just what works for me, hope this helps.
Good luck with your season..
Pat
