Can I use this fan in my LG bator? (link)

Is this what I need to convert my still air LG bator into a forced air bator? If it isn't, can anyone show me a place online that has the right kind of PC fan?

I use an old computer fan in mine. DH wired it to an old phone charger cord for power.

in the description of that is says 2 ft X 3 Ft something....that is ummmm a pretty big fan!

I don't think it is possibly that big. I got a small one like 2 inches by 2 inches at radio shack. Yes a pc fan is great just make sure it isn't too big.

Maybe it's a typo. I've never seen a computer fan that big.

I saw that to but just assumed it was a typo... do they even make them that big? Just to be safe, I'll buy one with normal dimensions, but I just wanted to be sure that was what I needed. Thanks!
I do have another question- do you all think it would hurt to start my eggs still-air and add the fan in about a week (maybe less, depends on when the pc fan arrives)?

That sort of a change can throw your temps off. You will have to be careful and watch closely for a couple of days to make sure it stabilizes.

The picture from ebay looks to be a 3" PC Fan. The rating is 2.3 cubic feet per minute. That is pretty strong. The fan that have been using is about 1 1/4" square and changes about 1 cubic f00t per minute. It just keeps the air moving gently around the incubator. I got munbe at Radio Shack for about $6-8.
