how do I put a fan in incubator?

[OHhappychicks]

I have a still air incubator. I would like to install a fan. I have a 12vdc---0.06A computor fan I just removed from an old computer. Where, and how should I install it. What kind of power source do I use? I want to set my eggs tomorrow if possible. My dh can install it if we have instructions. Thanks!

You need a 12V output one of these to wire it too.

Thanks rebelcowboysnb! Where do I need to place the fan in the bator? It is a lg 9200.

Like this

Mount it with screws an use washers or some other kinds of spacers to space it off the top. Also make sure it is blowing up not down.

I did the same thing for my little giant, if you have a cell phone charger they work also and everyone has an extra laying around, worked great for me

Thanks I've been wondering too also can it be installed after the eggs are set? Or does that mess it all up?

i added one on day seven of my first hatch, it took about two minutes, and i put a piece of rigid insulation over the top of the incubator while installing it.

it came from incubator warehouse and they have a video of how to install it.

worked for me.

Here is a link to a fan with power cord already attached on ebay. It may be easier if you are wary of the wiring!
