That looks like mine.

Here is the Owners Manual for your incubator:

Here is a photo of the power cord:

So it is different than mine. It's round. Now to find this one! It sounds like it has a power supply connected to the cord so one end goes in the incubator, the other to the power supply, then the other gets plugged into an electrical outlet. See if I'm getting this right @wrathsfarm My hubby is an electrician but he's still sleeping. I'll get him up though, it's way past time!

Even if this one would work, it charges shipping even with Prime, and to me it looks like to get it in two days here if ordered within two hours or else it's four days.

I set my shipped eggs in egg cartons in the basement pointy side down for 24 hours. I doubt if setting them for 48 is going to make that much difference in their viability.

It seems to me the link I posted might be only 1 part of it.
The figure 8 would plug into the DC power adapter box which then would plug into to incubator thru a round plug and port.
So I believe it's a 2 part cord.... Hopefully the link you posted helps get it sorted.
I don't have that incubator myself...was just trying to help with the emergency and the only 2 I could think of that maybe had that incubator was you and @2ndTink thru the hatch thread you two had going.

Ours are a different model and don't have a separate power supply, that black heavy thing. Ours just have that cord like you posted that goes from the incubator to the wall.

Hopefully @Kelly G can get a cord super quick to get the hatch started.
I would be on overload also if I had $200 shipping eggs coming.
Hope it all works out...

Have you called Brinsea USA? They are in Titusville Florida, if you are in Wesley Chapel, that is just over 2 hours away, maybe you could pick one up directly from them? I'm not seeing any closed roads between you and there. It might be a pain, but worth it to be sure you are ready for your eggs!

Good thinking there, Tink!

Oh, I dont think they carry it. Eggs can stay out a bit before incubating... Do you have any broody hens?

Thank you for replying

No, unfortunately, I don't. We just moved into our new home here in NC from Wesley Chapel, FL, and I'm restarting a new flock up here.

The added fun has been that hurricanes are a thing up here in the Asheville area like they were for our 30 years in Florida.

So Brinsea has the one they have made for themselves in China, but they do not maintain a proprietary ownership on transformers in general.

The good news is...my brother-in-law found me several choices for replacement. Brinsea sent me a photo of the product information on the back of the transformer so that I could match the voltage, Hz, amps, watts, etc. These are critical to match so that you don't fry your incubator.

Them sending me this photo was critical, and I'm very grateful.

Amazon will have it here Saturday.

Tagging those who posted - grateful to all of you!

@2ndTink @Debbie292d @wrathsfarm - Thank you all for the help - it was really appreciated!
