Why isnt this one dry looking?

[Chickiemom25]

This baby muscovey hatched about 18 hours ago. Its the only one who has hatched. I have 6 more that have pipped but not emerged and some that haven't pipped... some have been pipped about 20 hrs as well so I am a little worried. the incubator is at 72% humidity.. Duckie's backend looks dry but the head does not. Not sure if I should remove it and try to clean the head or leave it overnight and then wash it in the morning. It isn't very active. and usually my chicks/keets/ducks dry pretty fast.. Suggestions or ideas?

It is probably dry. It is just stuck down with the fluid from the egg. Once he rubs his head around preening he should be a fuzz ball.

I moved it out to the brooder this morning and she was looking a little better. this batch just seems to be taking longer to perk up and groom I think. There are 3 now.

I have seen chicks take 2 days to dry. It really just depends on heat, humidity and the chick.
