I set 16 shipped faverolles eggs, 2 had no development, 6 had blood rings at day 7, and 8 made it to lock down. One died in shell some time earlier on, another died after during hatching malpositioned with an exposed yolk. I had 4 hatch Saturday about 18-24 hours earlier than expected (2 of those were malpositioned) with one last egg still peeping in the shell.
2 of the chicks that hatched yesterday are having trouble staying upright even though they are all over 18 hours old. They just fall over to their side and kick their legs. They will stand assisted, but it's almost like their toes stay hyper extended. One is worse off than the other. Do I need to give them more time or try to keep them in a position where their feet are down?
