I accidentally bought the wrong egg turner. It is one of the cheap ones with a plug that is meant to be powered by a pcb port of the chinese incubators. Is there any way I can modify it to run off a regular plug... IE plug it into the wall?

This is the one I bought...

Unfortunately I don't have the answer for you but I can tell you to be careful.
I ordered an incubator from Ebay and put 4 duck eggs in it. I did it as follows and the eggs didnt hatch!
The thermostat wasn't consistent.
Just be careful!

Have you tried contacting the seller?
They might send you one for free.

I read the posting and it doesnt say what type of plug it has.
That is their error.

I just bought the motor with a plug. I was hoping to not have to spend any more money if I could wire this.

Assuming it is powered by 110 volts, you could just wire it to a lamp cord, but it would turn continuously. At least, going off the rating from the motor on my generic turner, the one controlled from a PCB turns at 3 RPM, so your eggs would be turned about 6 times per minute. The motor you linked to (going off the description for a similar model on Amazon) is only turning at 1/240 RPM--a full revolution every 4 hours.
