*STILL NEED HELP* Normal, or deformed?

[stormie]

Here's a fuzzy picture:

Is this normal? The ducking only hatched about five hours ago. Please tell me it isn't deformed. If it is what can I do?

It looks normal, he just has it folded up. You can leave him in the incubator for 12-24 hours after he has hatched.

But he has troubled walking around, like he hobbles is this normal too since he just hatched?

 

[stormie]

I also haven't see it uncurl it..

What is he walking on? Make sure it is something grippy, no cardboard, wire, or newspaper. Maybe he is spraddle legged.

It the wire bottom that came with my Little Giant Still Air Incubator.

Okay. Put him in the brooder with a heat lamp, and make sure that he has something grippy to walk on, and he should be fine. I use either hay/stray or an old towel for the first couple days.

I have pellets on the bottom of their brooder is that okay?

I am going through this with a gosling, you may have to hobble it's still splayed at 24-36 hrs after hatch
