Does it slow them down some? The single shoot, was the last up of those that have broken ground, and it’s outpacing the others by far.It’s not necessarily uncommon to have a multiple embryo chestnut. I’d let it go and once you have your first set of leaves prune the weaker shoots off at the ground.

I had just watered them.First pic looks way too wet.
They get about 2.5 hours of sun at mid morning. I was watering them every 4 days. I used a 50/50 mixture of potting soil and regular dirt from our pile.What media are you growing them in( soil v soilless)?
How much sun are they getting?
How often are you watering them?
Are you fertilizing them?

Probably too deep, that’s what happens when you get your planting instructions online.How deep is the nut? Usually you leave them right in top.
I was wondering about too much water, gonna let them dry out for a while.Usually with leaf curl the plant is going through some type of shock. Too much sun, too much water, etc.

No, I'm not sure what those are.Have you tried a soil moisture probe?
They have been helpful to me

I don't think that should be an issue, nothing else in the yard is showing any ill effects and I don't know of any spraying that has taken place around the house. I'm guessing it's a combination of burying the seeds too deep and too much water. Hopefully they'll pull out of it. If not, next year I'll do better.Herbicide exposure can also cause leaf curl. I’ve had this happen to me when a farmer contracted with a local crop duster to have a nearby field field sprayed. The wind caused some of the spray, in this case glyphosate, to drift over to my trees. Didn’t kill them but caused the leaves to curl badly.
