You can hand turn but it must be done religiously and it's a chore. For a few bucks, I'd suggest getting the automatic turner. Except for checking on temps and adding water occasionally, you can set your eggs and pretty much walk away.
Of course when hatch time is near, you'll be hovering over the bator like a hawk all day long looking for progress ;)
