Which malposition number from that site's chart do you think your chick is?

Day 24? What have your temps been throughout incubation? This is a Marans chick, yes? Not a duckling?

If it's day 24 on chickens, sounds like temps were a bit low... those take longer before they are ready, so don't rush it... if it's not in distress and can get air, best to give it extra time...

Well, the closest is #5, which is foot over head, but the photo shows it with it's wing over it's head, and this one isn't. Both wings are tucked

Someone mentioned that they might be a bit low. I checked today, and O think my thermometer might be off by half a degree or more.

Sounds like it... I would get a couple more thermometers and calibrate them all, so you have more than 1 reference to rely on...

Give it time, and look up curled toes just in case, since ones that take extra time *usually* end up having those...

More help. I'm going to quit on this one, though.

I just looked at your picture again and it's what I call foot over head & beak over wing. Definetly listen to @Ravynscroft , she knows her stuff when it comes to assisting.
