I would be concerned if I had more than one chick hatch out that way.
Check the feed that the hens are eating and make sure they're getting enough nutrients.
Not sure if the incubator has anything to do with it.

If you are not running the incubator at the correct temps and consistent with it you will have higher chances of deformities. also not turning the eggs daily can cause problems too

Are you turning the eggs consistantly at least twice a day? not turning will definitely cause this. If you have an autoturner make sure it is working

Good tips on rotating the eggs.
Please let us know how you do on your future hatches.
