    Fan next to incubator

    Does anyone run a fan next to the incubator to help with humidity and circulation. This is the incubator we have. No turner and no fan inside. I used to do like 50% humidity until day 18 with about 50% hatch rate. Then I switched to 35-40% and got about 85% hatch. This time I can’t seem to get...

    Sportsman Cabinet Incubator 1502 Fan Troubleshooting

    needing some insight on the sportsman cabinet incubator 1502 this model is an older model from about 2006. Should the fan run all the time? (I can't remember) and when it does run it shuts off way before the desired temperature. I even turned off the heat and then 20 minutes later the fan kicked...

    Any suggestions on solar fans?

    I live in South Mississippi and it’s already pretty hot down here. I really want to get a fan for the inside of the coop but we can’t run an extension cord way out to our coop. Are there any good solar fans out there? Or do you have any suggestions on keeping the coop cooler? It is very well...

    Exhaust fan help

    Hi all! I have had chickens for 2 years and this summer I wanted to put in a exhaust fan for them. I need one that is on the small size so I can put it above the door so it isn’t right above their roosts. I also need it to be under $40 if possible. Any suggestions would be great!! thanks!

    Some prefab coop modifications I made for a cooler coop :)

    I posted awhile back asking for advice about keeping my chickens dry in the occasionally torrential downpour and keeping them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Here’s what I’ve done : I added a radiant barrier because the roof gets afternoon sun for only a couple hours at the end of...

    Beating the heat: Trying something new

    So like the rest of chicken keepers the battle is on to keep the chickens from enduring too much heat stress. We're in the middle of a big heat wave and I can't wait for it to end- but it's going to hang on forever. SO - Having done the normal - installed a poultry exhaust fan in the coop...

    Poultry Ventilation Fans -- MADE for POULTRY DUST CONDITIONS!

    We've all been there. That horrible hot summer night that doesn't cool down- with no air moving and a bunch of chickens who refuse to spread out on the roost, though they're all panting with their wings dropped at their sides. When I was designing the coop, I didn't find anything about Poultry...

Has anyone done this and have suggestions on...
