Oh no! So sorry! Did someone assist? Or did she zip and quit?

I'm so sorry.

I slowly opened it when I saw she was not moving. I’m so sad. She was sooo cute. I really wish I would have helped earlier

I'm so sorry! You did a good job, everything you could.

Thank you. It’s still hard.

I think I’m going to try my hand at incubating in the spring

omg, I am so sorry. I still am not over enduring this exact same thing that happened with my duckling. It didn't get out of the shell before it stopped breathing and I did mouth to beak and chest compressions. I kept it alive about 2 hours doing that over and over telling him I loved him over and over.... I can't bear to use an incubator again. I plan on finding a Silkie hen for my George and let them be in charge of the babies.
