Is the chick ok?

I have cochin bantams hatching. I put one I the incubator so my 7 year old could watch it hatch. It hatched at 7 pm tonight after a long time of pipping. The chick is flopping around almost two hours later unable to
Stand or lift it's head. Is this normal? I have only hatched then with a hen and I only see them fluffy and cute. How long until it will be fluffy?

It takes mine up to 24 hours for complete fluff and they don't always walk right away. They are pretty tired from hatching

Oh good! I feel so bad that it's in there by itself. But mum glad my son got the experience of seeing a tiny chick born. One more is pipping under mom. Should get 7. Let's hope for 7 frizzle hens! Wouldn't that be nice? ;-)

My daughter (8) wants me to get frizzles to mix in so we can get frizzles lol
