Peachick with curled toes.

Is it tall enough inside for the chick to stand?

not really.

Peachicks can take a little longer, especially if they've had a difficult hatch.

ok. Should I leave the tape on the feet??

not really.

Hmm... that might be an issue.

I think I would remove the tape for now and stick it back in the incubator.

I should get a new one that matches the old one I broke, lol.
Ok, I removed the tape, and stuck it back in.

WDYM? Sorry, I'm sorta a noob.

Where are the hatched peachicks going to live? They need something with a heat lamp or brooder plate. This is what I use:

This is how some people make them with lamps:

Oh! Those! I usually make those when I need them, I dispose of them once the brood is big enough to go outside, and stay outside. I start with a large cardboard box, and fill the bottom with newspaper, and then paper towel. Then I place the food tray and a cup of water that is attached to the cardboard bottom, so it won't easily spill. Sometimes I manage to find the water feeder, so I put that in instead of the cup. I usually make a "bed" with ripped tissue too, when I have a brood of chicks. When I have the more successful peachicks, I usually give them some sticks, which are suspended in the air, and attached to the sides, so the peachicks can hop on them, and also a heat lamp, which I usually place in the corner for a week, until the chicks no longer need them. So, I think i'm good for now, right? or do I need to get a proper one for this peachick?

Whatever you have done in the past should be fine. How is the peachick this morning?

The legs is better, but not good compared to regular legs. The ankles are bent the wrong too, and so I taped the legs again, so it has to walk with the ankles bent the other way. I have clear medical tape, and it is very sticky, so I taped his feet again.
