Oh how funny hahaha. I planted like 8 yellow sqush in a tote and they all came out !
One day I heard the lord say you better thin that out or there wont be anything to pick IM like ahhhhhhhhhh lol. I ended up carefully digging out 5!! Gavem them all to a neighbor and there actually doing pretty good (miracle). My first year can ya tell hahaha. I wont even tell you how many cucumbers came up hahaha
I know how you feel loosing plants to slugs or cutworms is one thing but killing it yourself really hurts. I guess I really thinned my Zucchini , I haven't planted any yet. LOL I ran out of space, same space I had last year, actually one more 4X4 bed, but I'm growing less varieties just more plants of the things that I really like. What's a garden without Zucchini though, I will have to start one in a container.
I think you'll be find pulling it out as they are shallow rooters. go for the transplant (y) ! hahah

Those are good looking plants. Shame some had to go but you are certainly correct to do so. Oh well, fodder for the compost pile...

Im having to deal with the exact same problem right now.. thinning my zucchini! I have 3 of them within close proximity. It's SO hard to thin them.

It does hurt to thin out, but just a couple of zuke plants will feed your family and a couple of others :) They really put out.
