Hey all! I’ve never hatched or had ducks before. Would this be splay leg? I’m not sure when she hatched, I came out this morning to chirping

Just the plastic incubator bottom - is still in there because another pipped. Sorry my app is misbehaving
Is it a smooth bottom?
I ask because they need something to grip, like shelf liner, or something similar. Slippy incubator floors can cause their legs to splay. I'd reach in and add something for them to sit on
If he's dry, he looks dry, you might as well pop him into the brooder- it won't hurt the other egg as long as the incubator isn't open for too long
