Anxious, help!

Okay, 2nd hatch. This one didn't go as smoothly bc Zipper knocked the egg top-down, then zip-up again before it hatched. Beautiful coloring in this one, she has a combo of gray (or brown?) and gold feathers.
Although it looks like the yolk is stuck to her butt. This wasn't true for Zipper . . . is it normal?

I’d have to see a photo. Could just be some poop from inside the egg - they can hatch with some gunk on them.
 
Woke up and both chicks were fluffy. They have been moved to the brooder. :clap Hoping for some more, but only one egg out of the three left have pipped. I guess it's only day 22 though, so those other two still have some time.

Give it some time. You've done all you can do and now it's up to them. I would say that 4 out of 5 would be a good hatch - hopefully you'll get at least that. So many factors go into the hatching process, some within our control and others totally out of our control! I have 5 of my 7 eggs still viable on Day 14 and don't know why the other two quit around the 7th day of incubation. I tested out the incubator with my own flock and got a 100% hatch so I'm thinking that it's due to the health of the adult birds, egg storage before I got them, and transportation here (even though they were driven and not shipped). There's very little I can do about that and I'll be happy if all of the live chicks hatch - hopefully that's the case. :)
 
Look at this fluff! They are loving the brooder.

Idk if anyone's still watching this thread, but I need some help. I ended up with 3 out 5 eggs hatching, which I'm happy with.
BUT the last chick that hatched keeps falling over backwards and can't get up. I thought it was curled toes and made little splints for her out of band aids, but it hasn't really helped. (Also thought it was splayed legs, but took off that splint bc it was just making it worse. She is being fed water with a syringe and eats chick starter feed by herself from the ground. Right now she is in a cardboard box in the brooder (seperate from the other 2 chicks.
Idk what to do. Advice?
Note: She can walk well, it's just that when she falls she can't get back up. She loves being held and jumps into by hand whenever she gets the chance.
