What size PC fan to use???

that computer fan there's a link to above is pretty much the same one i used for my incubator. i haven't hatched anything yet (Still working on temp consistency), but it is really easy to splice the wires to a phone charger, mine is 12v.

do you have pics of your home made incubator?

If you have an IT department were you work. Check with those tech guys. I have gotten several PC fans free from old computers that have been replaced or the hard drives crashed. Fans in them still work great.

Just a thought.
 
Nope that isn't me!! I may have talked to you on the phone though??? Did you advertise them on Craigs list?? I have talked to alot of people about chickens and I always give them my username if they are a BYC'r and if they aren't I refer them here !!
Well it is nice to meet another Wisconsinitte/silkie owner !!!

I did like your cooler bator, I was impressed. So I'm stealing your ideas as well as the sink A bator's. I wanted something bigger than the cooler and the tub was only $18 at Menards.

I did take my 2" fan out of an old computer but it really isn't powerful enough in my opinion for the size and depth of the tub.

Did you use the huge 4" from Radio Shack. $20???

How did you make your bator???
Hubby is working on it now.

Do you mean the buff and partridge??? I got more silkies since then so that is who I think you mean right? Named them Buffy and Jody. Still haven't figured out if the partridge is a he/she. Isn't laying and isn't crowing!!!

Buffy is laying tons of eggs but don't have a buff roo to go with her.They are eating machines !!! They like anything and everything I put in front of them. Cute and very inquisitive little rascals.

Thanks for the advice on the fans everybody.

I had a fan from an old computer, chances are you know someone with an old computer sitting around, just go in and steal the fan. I think an office store would be cheaper than Radio shack.
I mean the silkies from Shiocton, the 6 splash roos? I do believe you told me ur name on BYC was french toast

on Byc theres a page the shows bators, I made the one out of a cooler.
