Hatching Mallard Duck Eggs!

In this video, I find four abandoned duck eggs in my neighbors yard and incubate them until they hatch. Three of the four ducklings hatched and are eating and drinking. The big ducklings are four weeks old and are doing great! Thanks you guys for watching!!

Congrats daddy duck🥳🐣

[@jessies3236]

Loved this! Had a mallard as a kid. We got him as a tiny baby. For about 3 years I think. We live in Indiana. We had a freak freeze and he froze :-(. He was actually not the worst pet. Not that I advise it. He was better than some dogs I've had. Love their sounds. Reminds me of Beeper so much. We called him Beeoer cause their sound ❤❤ he would preen me and run his beak over my shoulder through my hair and lean into me like a hug and repeat it over and over. As sweet as he was you could not take your eyes off him or your pate if you had food. You think a snake if fast youve never seen a duck who wants to steal your food lol! Man so fast!! He snatched and inhaled half a lunch meat sandwich from my hand in a couple milliseconds before I could even blink! It was so fast!! Lol 😆 it was a wonderful experiance! Thank you so much for sharing! Mallards are dear to my heart!❤❤❤❤❤❤🦆🦆❤❤❤❤❤❤

But what happened to the original parent ducks? I hope your neighbor didnt just take them

[@blanierconseti514]

I hope not either, because it's illegal in all states to touch duck eggs without a proper reason (like the mother died). Other than it just being cruel to take them from their mom. Technically it's illegal to have any of them without a rehabbing permit, but I do the same thing as him so I dont care haha

[@millennialaviation]

The mother died

[@RedWestern793]

Almost certainly dead, as eggs would never be left unattended on the ground like that if the parents were alive

Will you be setting up little places for the ducks to go in? Even large dog houses, like the iglo ones, will suffice Edit: When they're released to the ponds.

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

They might ruin the aesthetics of the pond, unless he makes them kinda natural and cool-looking. Random pieces of plastic would look like trash

[@BananaLaLa33]

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 The ducks need someplace to sleep, open water is dangerous. There's no trees. They need a place for shade, and to get away from predators.

I do not think I would release the older ducks until they are getting ready to fly. Without the protection of their parents, or ability to fly, they are extra vulnerable to predators.

He didn't elaborate in this video, but in previous ones he's said he's going to release them when they're ready to fly, not before.

Do you have plans to build some sort of shelter or nesting area that’s safe for them to rest away from predators? Doesn’t seem like there is a lot of cover for them by the ponds

[@juliusroman8616]

I think they might fly off after he releases them, to find mates and all that. Even if they do stay, it's just the luck of the draw. I don't think he could train them to hide in safe spaces for the few weeks he's got them before they're released.

[@kellyg1972]

@@juliusroman8616 right but mallards live by bodies of water and usually have territories they migrate back and forth to depending on the season. It’s not about training them, but providing them with shelter and safety if they decide to stay and/or come back with mates

[@jessicaseidl5701]

You are such a good moma duck

[@elijahgray5697]

A couple things you can do to keep the water clean; 1: suspend it above the ground by a few inches, just hang it or put it on a few bricks. And 2: the ducks will like to get into the water to clean their feathers, so put some rocks in the water to keep them from stepping in it but leave enough room for their bills to reach.

Genesis 1 New International Version The Beginning 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning-the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning-the third day. 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning-the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning-the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” 29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground-everything that has the breath of life in it-I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning-the sixth day.

I have a female Mallard that brings a new Drake to my backyard every year for 6 years in a row now. They seem to show up after her babies have matured and left on their own, because I never see her babies. Every year it's a new male. I have a kiddie pool filled with water, they love swimming in it and drinking from it. I also of course have fresh scratch for them to eat. They generally come everyday from mid May to about no later than the end of June. And then they disappear until next spring. I've named her Sophia lol I have no idea he she figured out that out of 3000 houses in the community that mine was the one that was going to spoil her lol I love her and I will miss her when she's gone.
