A Mallard duck made a nest in my flower bed. 14 ducklings hatched.

On March 31, 2018, a mallard duck built a nest and laid three eggs in my flower bed. Nearly a week later, the duck laid 14 eggs total. 28 incubation days later, the ducklings hatched.
The song is "UpUpUp and Over" by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue).

I just adore ducklings, goslings, signets up to adult hood, and I find their company preferable to human kind.

[@animalrescuer80]

So precious! I have ducks and chickens and goslings. I can't never go back not having them

[@RioJudy]

How lucky for you! What a great mom and her babies are darling.

[@PrankWindow]

So nice video, natural mother duck hatchling

[@Gymjb5]

I love it,I got so happy yesterday I found a nest with 7 eggs on my yard ,but I’m wondering at what time she come back to her nest ,because I wake up today at 2:30am and she wasn’t there 🤔 I just hope that nothing happens to her 😩

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Update please

[@coquenomisticov5023]

who is the heartless dislike this video?

[@wildbill7267]

I, or rather my dog, discovered a mallard nest in my backyard two days ago. There are six eggs. There were seven but my dog cracked one open before I could stop her, unfortunately. I’m doing my best to keep my dog away from the nest. If/when the eggs hatch, the nearest water, a small stream, is some 1/4 mile from my house, and the only pond I am aware of is 1/2 mile away across a busy road. I’m not sure what instincts drove this momma mallard to choose my backyard, such a far walk for flightless ducklings from water, but I hope her babies make it.

[@Photograph1974]

I have a wild mallard that is nesting on a clutch of eggs next to my pond where I live in Alabama. She's on the ground in some tall grass.

[@evahorvath8135]

Very nice duck 🦆

[@LeeAnne750]

Unfair world. How does she protect them. How does she feed them.

[@eschwarz1003]

wow every egg looks hatched. Doesn't always happen

[@chi-townhorror101]

Well she must be the luckiest mother alive 😉

[@hannalind7581]

Exactly. A mallard had her babies at our balcony but only 5 of 10 "became" babies. They're adorable 😍

[@pradeepkamble6793]

Superb video..👌👌😘😘

[@izzij3599]

Gorgeous 😍

[@debraa2944]

We have the same thing here in our flower bed. This morning the momma was out in the yard seeming upset and one of the eggs is open, appears to have been opened by a hatchling, but the duckling is no where to be seen. Any idea what could've happened to it? I've been waiting for the eggs to hatch...hoping a predator didn't get it. She wouldn't have led one duckling off by itself would she?

[@suziebagur3019]

So precious....the nest looks very cozy....I wonder if the return to the nest to sleep at night?

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Earlier comment on the subject said no

[@LeeAnne750]

Usually they never come back to the old nest. They go their way.....after a while they forget about their offspring.

[@RioJudy]

They don’t ever return to it. Once hatched they are out of the nest and gone.

[@christinahansen4068]

I watched this video because I have a Khaki Campbell duckling hatching 😊

[@houseofjanesongwritersessi4629]

Very sweet ❤

[@biasedneutron231]

Hi! I googled your video because 2 Mallards came to my front yard and laid eggs in my flower bed and now I’m scared what if they forget their way back to my house

[@jpp1749]

Just wondering did they ever return?

[@biasedneutron231]

J P yes they did! Right the next day! And exactly after 21 days, they had 7 babies, all healthy and beautiful. They left 3 days after having their babies. Sitting in quarantine, this was a highlight for our family and friends, I feel very lucky that mama mallard (Suzy, we named her) picked our home to have her babies.

[@nadeemmustafa6450]

Excellent video 👍👍👍🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

[@G..V]

Lovely

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Lucky you.

[@matdunip]

This is going on right now in my backyard. They should be hatching soon. I do not know where there is a nearby pond. How long do the chicks stay at the nest and how do they finally leave?

[@The_Duckdaddy]

DOUGLAS CRIDLAND they leave the nest within a day. The mom waits for them to hatch and Siri’s on top of them top get her oil on them since they don’t produce their own yet. Then she will lead them to water, the don’t come back to sleep in the nest usually.

[@chungswphei4284]

[@rezterralico4369]

Have a duck in my back yard with 7 eggs. Too bad they may have hatched while I was doing out of town work.

[@Cuktisntfunny]

Hopefully they grown up to adulthood without ending in any predators belly
