16 Mallard Ducks, From Laying, To Leaving

Footage of a pair of Mallard Ducks, who setup a nest in a hedge in our garden. We managed to film them settling into the nest, then the eggs hatching and then venturing off into the world.

Very nice place and beautiful scenery.

The nest I had by my house, the mom kept corraling her kids to keep them together. If one fell behind, she stopped and nudged them in the right direction. This mom doesn't even look back and the strict father watched stone faced while his little one struggles to follow. I know it's survival of the fittest, but it really depends on the duck.

Awww, the little runt, that was having problems keeping up with the others was lost behind...Sad, but it is the circle of life. :(

Always fun to watch ducks from the time they are layed until they leave their parents .

[@CarmenLopez-er2vv]

They are beautiful thank you for sharing i love duck

[@windtalker4191]

The duckling that was struggling to keep up was definitely lost by the end of the video. It was lagging behind the others significantly the entire time but by the end of the video all the ducklings left was having no problems keeping up and close to the mother. A predator probably got it. Natural selection in action.

After seeing where the female duck choose to nest, reminds me of the time when I was in middle school. I was in my first hour class, which is science, and a teacher walked in and informed the class that there was a duck nesting on the roof of the building. (We were on the second floor and there was a window leading out to the roof where the duck was.) The whole class went out to check out the mama duck. After the eggs hatched and the ducklings were a bit stronger, my science teacher and another teacher went onto the roof with a box and managed to scoop the duck family into the box and took them to a little stream that was in the woods nearby the school.

Thank you for sharing! Great video!

I wonder why Canada geese are so friendly towards people.

[@meiocheng817]

Shame about #16, bad right leg. Could have injured it when jumping off the hedge. That's why it kept falling over to the right.The dates seem off. 16 eggs, laid one a day, and add 28 days for incubation, means a minimum of 44 days from first egg to hatching, and then one day before leaving for water. But, from arrival to fist sighting of a duckling was only 33 days! Amazing!

l love the duck's so a durable 😍😍😍

After gone through several channel I begin to understand how the family get lost in their way back to the pond. Pageant mama duck have air born navigation skill fly from pond to a tree or evergreen fence to build a nursery nest for her future litters. Hopefully find a tree around a pond with unobstructed path back to the pond. But some tree is isolated from the pond with fenced homes at the water front. Poor mama duct don’t have ground level navigation skill often lost here way back to the pond with litters behind her. To make matter worse we often find mama duck crying for her liters all fallen through a road side drain grill. Message to all water front home owners. If possible open passages to mama duck during breeding seasons.

I hope you helped the little straggler 💔

No, thats exactly the opposite that you should do. Nature knows best

awsome!! thank you for sharing=) poor lil ugly duckling... they started with what 17 and by end they had i think it was 13?

[@brogamerhd6766]

one duckling is lost

[@zacharycat603]

Once the babies hatched dad just abandoned them?

[@rhondamasters94]

Yes , ducks are not monogamous they mate for a season>in fact males have a tendency to trample ducklings for spending too much time with the female> Next season if she comes back chances are likely it will be with a different male and a whole new slew of babies.

[@georgeeresseril6897]

Ducks came first on March 30. Hatched on May 1st. Duck eggs need 28 days to hatch.So in 3 days she laid 16 eggs?impossible.Duck lay maximum 1 egg a day.

What a stupid mother duck, she was already leaving when only a few ducklings made it to her and the rest luckily managed to trace their way to her, leaving one to injure itself because of the urgency to make it back to her. Rape, killings, starvation, pestilence, suffering, gleeful cruelty. "Ah, but such are the joys of mother nature..."
