I just recently hatched 5 chicks. 4 hatched on day 21 (3/4). I left the remaining eggs in and 1 more hatched but it took a long time(36 plus hours) It finally got out yesterday. It had the shell stuck to its head by some yolk stuff. It ended up getting itself free. It then took lots of rest which I figured was due to how much work it just did. When I took it out of the incubator today (post 24 hours) it seemed .. off. It is dry but straggly. It also is a lot smaller than the others. It seems a little wobbly but is hanging with the other peeps just fine and eating. By these pics , is this normal or is there something I need to do? We had to cull the 6th hatch as it just hatched by chance with a cross beak and smushed skull/ one eye. TIA!
