I have a GQF 1500 incubator and the racks won't move automatically although they will manually. Any ideas what the problem is? It's been like that since I took it out of the box so I'm not sure if there's something I need to do or if it's broken.
Hi all, I've rarely ever had chicks with either of these conditions, but have suddenly had a rash of both. Is there some connection between these two issues?
