It's been 37 hours - should I assist? Update - Chick dead.

I placed him back in the bator, hoping the added humidity would help. Went off to the brooder to help out the chicks with pasty butt. Got called in by my sister about an hour ago - he died. I knew he had a very little chance of survival. I'm annoyed at myself for not giving him electrolytes or yolk or something. Buried him out back, couldn't bring myself to simply throw him away in the thrash can.

EDIT: I took a few pictures before placing him in his casket. Seemed as though he had absorbed all the yolk. Only thing left was a bit of stringy dry stuff on the bottom of his navel.
