    Janoel 24. INCUBATOR EXPERTS PLEASE

    Sorry guys forgot to get back. 9v off the board didnt have enough current to drive the fan/move much air. What I ended up doing was buying a cheap 240v to 12v converter, wired than into the mains feed to drive the PC fan. Obviously mains voltage can be dangerous so know what you are doing...

    Need manual/instructions for JN448 incubator (cheap Chinese with rollers)

    Hi there, first post so wee bio: Live in NZ. We have three plymouth rock girls laying nicely and wanted to expand. So I made my own incubator, bought 12 lavender orpington eggs and now we have 10 seven week old chicks who just moved next door to the big girls yesterday (out of the brooder). My...
