Hands on hatching and help

[WVduckchick]

Here is one I just found outside:

Is it a pea?? Looks like it was about ready to hatch anyway. Great find and save! Hope it hangs in there.

Adorable!

She got a little crushed. Hope she makes it. It's still alive, right?

Gonna post a pic of the new hatcher, just have to switch to desk top. Can't upload from the app.

It is still alive, though it has fluid in it's crop, which is something I haven't seen before. Also has some edema on it's head and neck.

She asked what to do... I suggested leave it be. What exactly do we do in this thread? Give bad advice?

Excuse me? Maybe you miss the whole concept of hands on hatching? We are very successful hatchers, that help others to be successful HANDS ON HATCHERS. I believe you are looking for Sally's thread.

Oh, Mother Nature intervieners, creating birds that eventually cannot support themselves with out big fingers poking into the incubator... got it. Ranks right up there with diapers on ducks. Sorry, I'm assuming these birds thrive without antidepressants and weekly trips to the therapist?

98% of my assists grow into healthy productive birds. Now kindly remove yourself from my thread before I get management involved.

There are plenty of folks who agree with you. This thread is for those that don't.

Telling her to help it finish zipping wouldn't be bad advice. In fact, that would be the whole point of this thread.

The trouble is, you came into a thread specifically for people who assist during hatching and then gave advice directly against that. If you want to give advice like that in other places, that is fine. But to come into the thread we created for hands on hatchers and do it is frankly rude.

This post is extremely rude. Did you see what ended up happening with that chick? It survived because of some intervening. If you want to let your chicks die when they cannot hatch on their own, that's up to you and that's fine. But that's not what we do here and to come in here, give advice against our methods, and now to say what you just did is extraordinarily uncalled for. Did you even read the first post or any of this thread at all before posting? I'm beginning to suspect you didn't. Because the other option is that you did and posted in here just to be argumentative and insult us, and I'd like to believe that's not the case...

A lot of times a chick is perfectly healthy and dies because of errors we make during incubation. You want to say we're intervening with Mother Nature. I ask you what is incubating if not exactly that? There's nothing natural about it. So to help a chick hatch because it's having problems that were created by the artificial and not at all natural way it's being brought into the world, how is that intervening with Mother Nature?

We won't judge you for hatching the way you see fit. Apparently you cannot give us the same courtesy.

Y'all are absolutely right. They are your eggs, your birds. You can do with them as you wish. I'll be on my way feeling sorry only for those poor hatchlings that don't make it or grow up to perpetuate the problems. No need for any further sass from any of you. Best of luck.
