To OP:

It's tough, but you did the right thing.

 

[purpletree23]

It's a heart wrenching thing to do but you did what was best for the baby and that's what counts.

I'm very sorry.

Take care of yourself.

So sorry farmboy. These things happen, unfortunately.

 

[DuckLady]

I am sorry for your loss.

Folks, this is not the place to debate ways and means.

We also don't need to judge what others do.

 

[meriruka]

I'm so sorry for you & the chick. It's so hard to do.

Edited to remove more debate

Sorry for your loss, know that handling it was the right thing to do. The only wrong thing to do would be to allow the chick to continue to suffer needlessly.

If this chick had hatched somewhere without human intervention it would have probably been eaten by some predator, or fire ants, or the Mama hen herself, and it wouldn't have been as swift & as sure of an end. It's always sad & difficult to have to cull a baby chick, but it's the final kindness you can provide. I dig a deep narrow hole near the drip line of a bush, then wrap the chick in a paper towel and carry it to the hole. Then I take my good kitchen shears and quickly snip through the poor chick's neck, and let both parts of the chick fall into the hole. That way it at least provides nourishment for a plant and in that way, continues.
