That sounds like a very smart decision and a positive approach. I applaud you for giving such care and attention to your little guy. We'll be waiting patiently

I will be sending good wishes and thoughts in your direction. Fantastic news about the third pip. Blessings!

Hey everyone, I am sorry I needed to step away but things just got a little too much for me to handle given this already difficult situation. Thankfully I was able to reach out to Jen (ravyn) privately and she was a lifesaver. Basically supported whatever my decision was but helped make things much clearer for me and was able to really calm me down. I have decided not to assist just yet. Although this is not an ideal situation/hatch there are still some positive signs and I can not deal with moving too fast and causing more harm than good. If the positive signs start to deteriorate through the evening I will have to take over and do my best. As luck would have it, I just checked the egg and we now have a third pip and they are in a straight line. Although they are not busting through the egg and membrane completely this is still some progress so I will wait and pray and ask you all do the same and hopefully respect my decision as it has not been any easy decision to make. I hope to follow up with more good new through the night. Thank you all so very much.

thanks for the update. That's why Ravyn deserves her Educator badge. Will be praying for a duckling pic in the morning.

WE TOTALLY SUPPORT YOU! No one can tell you exactly what is best so you have to use your best judgment and that can be so difficult. I'm sorry this has turned into such a stressful situation for you. Praying for a healthy little duckling and that you can stay calm and peaceful (which has to be SO hard!)

I use the Heatplate from Premier One. Chicks crawl under it for more heat. It can be raised or lowered for chick height. Chicks don't chirp all night, but sleep instead!

Will be praying at my house for you and the lil one..We support your decision and think you have done a wonderful service for this little one. Best of luck to you!
