Thanks for the update. I've been wondering. Sad, but apparently mom did know best.

You did everything you could.

I'm sorry he didn't make it.
At least you did the best you could and I commend you for that.

RIP, little Heinz.

Darn.

but wow did I learn quite a bit.

My first hatch had one I needed to "help" but it was not as dramatic as this one. You did great, and taught us all a lot.



Edited for props.

Sorry the chick didn't make it. But you did give it a chance. We had the same thing happen recently with a duck when the momma gave up the nest. Sadly this duckling didn't make it either.

Oh no....this is truly a sad day. I am so sorry little Heinz didn't make it. Everyone on here was so pulling for him. You tried so hard. So sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear about your chick. I wish he would have made it.

Sorry about the chick. Thanks for sharing, this was very educational.

Thanks for all your sympathies. At least he had experienced some loving, gentle touches before he passed.

Oh, I'm sorry. He was sure lucky you were there to try and help him, though.
