Has anyone used the styrofoam table top incubator to hatch goose eggs?

Curious if it worked ok or what special things did you need to do. I have read that goose eggs do better being hand turned, and being cooled and misted 4 times a day... true?

I have! I used a turner but you have to make sure the tall eggs don't scrape the roof of the 'bator. I misted once a day and had a pretty good hatch. I also turn the top of a Hovabator three times a day and used a very accurate thermometer- Spot check- to ensure the temp was where it should be.
