    Brinsea 40 Information needed.

    I got a 40 EX incubator, and am having a hard time finding any information on how well people do with their hatches, or even a product review.

    What do you use for a Merek's vaccine?

    Lame Rooster Question as to cause.

    I have a Black Orp Cockerel that is about 16 weeks right now. At around 12 weeks old he started limping, almost like he had dislocated his hip/knee. One leg was fine, and the other he would keep very little weight on when walking, and laid down a lot. I told my wife it look like a droopy leg or...
