Peafowl chick born with swollen head and neck?

[LemonWeenie]

Hi there! Recently I've been hatching peachicks. 5 came out just fine a week ago, one with curled feet that I taped up.

However today two more hatched. The first one hatched fine, and it's head was slightly swollen on one side, but now it looks normal. (Its been a few hours) However it's sibling I had to help out of the shell and it's head and neck is swollen. Its eyes are open and it is alert, but it has curled feet too.

Does anyone know what causes the swelling like this? Is it the humidity the incubator? I can post pictures of the chick if needed.

I don't know the answers. But have one like this now. Did yours make it?
