This is just too painful.  A quick death is one thing, suffering is another.

Well the male came in, he looked curious and so did baby and then he left.  Now it's to the side, mom is ignoring it and it will likely die. :'(  

There was a pip in one of the other eggs so we'll see what she does when it hatches.  Some of the girls watching say she may have injured it as she kept pulling on it when it was hatching.

the chick is very active and moving towards her...Dad came in and seemed curious and left.  Now she's turned her back on it,

I wondered that too but she's never had a baby before - of course TPC will say it's instinct but the chick seems active and alert?  Like someone on BCAW said, even the chick knows it should be under mom yet she keeps backing away from it.
