Fast enough?

I'm sitting next to the tub while she's laughing at her toys as she drowns them.

Agreed!

Why must you teach her these things?

I am innocent!

The 12v supply I'm using has an output of 800ma (which is .8a). That's more than enough to run everything I have in there 12v. The fans can take anywhere from .12 to .25a depending on several factors. I'm not sure it's necessary to run more than one (unless they're really small) IMO. Better safe than sorry though

. And I would still try to check voltage and power requirements on the LED light.

I'll take a look at it when I get home. I figure if I want the 12V fans to run at full speed they would each need a separate supply. So you're saying that one 12V power supply could supply both fans enough juice to run at full speed?

@BantyChooks you can add this to mine.
3/6 2 Brown Chinese/ White Chinese goose eggs
3/7 30 Texas A&M quail set
3/11 19 Idaho Blueback Pheasants set Feb 18
3/12 13 Rhodebar, 7 barnyard mix, 3 Rhodebar/Lav orp
3/26 1 Brown Chinese/White Chinese goose egg
3/27 1 Toulouse goose egg
And to everyone I am sorry I havent been on offline life got busy. I have been building a new chick brooder and doing some other things as well. On the up side of things I got my first Toulouse goose egg today.

sweet!!!!! dang justin!! you go!!

So I just lost another hen to my weenie dog. And that was the last straw for me. He has killed 10+ chicks of mine. Does anyone know what I should do about this? He is an 11 year old 40-60lb male weenie dog. And I don't think that anyone wants him.

oh no!!!! I am so sorry!! awwww

Good morning everyone I've been of for a while but I'm back now life has been crazy as always but the past few days it has been slowing down at my house I've entered the Easter hatch along I got my hands on some EE and EE x rir eggs and any extra room I have I'm gunna fill in with my orpingtons eggs I'm not sure how many eggs I can fit in my incubator but I'm gunna find out. I hope you have all been doing good.

@speney Spencer! how you doing?

Mornin' folks. Cold and frosty this morning, but the girls are fed and it's shaping up to be sunny and lovely! Got chores to do before work, but I decided to pop in and say hi.

Mornin hippie!!!!! enjoy a lovely ay!!

Good Morning!

Yes sir. Wire them in parallel and they both still get 12v but the amperage demand doubles (add the two together).

I thought it was a hen from show-winning lines that you might get. Wanted to know what I thought. Am I totally confused already this morning? usually takes a few hours longer

 

[BullChick]

Well, there you go!

 

[Ur-ur-ur-urrr]

I would add a separate power adapter for the light and I have a 9V one just laying around. Each fan will be on it's own 12V power supply.

If you want dim lighting, 9V should work on 12V LED's. Just be sure there's plenty of amperage in the trasformer... LED's use more energy at lower wattage. Personally, I would just wire it/them in with fans, but that's your call.

Okay! Gotta wash her hair, and crack eggs on her head.
Hmmm... Maybe I should have thought this out better!

What do you mean by wire them parallel?

Well if I wire the fans on the same than I'll have a spare 12V I could put the light on. I think I'll do the light separate so I can turn it off and on without turning off the fans.
