That lake bottom dirt is perfect for raised garden beds. Its already fertilized from the fish.

[@MinnieTx1951]

Love the markings on those baby ducks . I hope the mom got all 3 of them .

[@TheWynch]

Great time to clean up and rework the big pond area. I hope the weather conditions have greatly improved. Those ducklings may stick around especially is there is food. They are probably 2 of others, probably ground nesting because they are so young. I hope that was their mother.

[@jovitanavarro7247]

Hi Jared!! Your respect for the flag for your family and for nature is just who you are..never change nor rearrange for no one my friend! 😊

[@suziedrust9194]

Prayers for those 2 beautiful baby ducks! May God keep them safe & Mama find them🙏

[@terryjohnson6392]

The ducklings are so adorable thanks to you and your dad for saving them.

[@southernbelle3995]

There should be a wildlife rescue group to raise the little guys. Check with vet or check with rangers. I've taken all kinds of animals. Here in Tucson they took a baby quail that hatched after the rest had gone. Good work guys. Stay hydrated in that heat. You have it worse than we do right now. 108 here, no humidity.

[@lindahipp8329]

Glad Y'all rescued the baby ducks. Good luck digging out the pond.

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

so happy to see you both rescuing baby ducks, praying ya'll stay hydrated in that heat out there working 🙏🏼

[@susanhorton3282]

Thank you Jared for saving them. I love ducks. If the mother doesn't come back I am sure they will have the next best thing. They have you. When it comes to the care of animals your the best.

[@nightbird4747]

I rescued 9 ducklings after they fell through a rain gutter grate, good thing it was dry!! Mom and Dad stayed by it (2 hrs.) until I had time to stop my bus and see why they were staying there. It's a good feeling to help the cute little things. You're right, there is always something to do when you have acreage. Great video, have a great day! Love and hugs to all, especially Granny ❣️💐✌🏻🇺🇸🐕🏡

[@barbaratucker7125]

The little ducks are so adorable! Thank you for rescuing them!

[@dirdam122007]

Love the little ducks and the big one too. Pretty colors. ❤️

[@Bev0149-y2m]

You are so sweet with those little baby birds! You and your Dad are such hard workers. Stay cool out there❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@stacybroussard3097]

Nice job on saving the baby ducks Jared and Dad, that was so sweet ❤ Your home is coming along nicely, can't wait to see what you have planned for it! Blessings and Love to you and your Family 🙏❤️🙏

[@Patricia_ThatBougieFreshieGirl]

I don’t comment often, however I needed to let you know….how truly awesome you are! Your kindness and hard work are amazing! I watch all your videos and wish you continued success in your goals. You deserve only the best in life. ❤❤❤

[@rosacornett6320]

It's nice seeing your parents. I just lost both my parents. Cherish everything with them

[@SimplySoutherntx]

🙏🙏

[@amandaprice1180]

The heat is really drying everything up quick. Glad to see you and George rescue the ducks. I think the other thing you found is called a bipes. The house and properties are looking great!

[@HeatherJ.Hopper]

It's an amphiuma -type of salamander Very cool looking. Huge love ❤️ from Canada.

[@lovepugs05]

I just love how you show your carringness for nature. Thank you. Those duckling are so cute ❤

[@denisewilson8367]

As long as they don't get eaten or hurt they have pretty good instincts to survive. Thanx for getting them out of the road and the ones in the back by the pond.

[@barbaraalley8820]

Thank you Jared for saving those beautiful little ducklings your house is looking amazing!!

[@BirdSaver]

Good human saving baby ducks...warms the heart. Nice that there is a bird sanctuary nearby.

[@livingdeeply15]

Awe those ducklings are absolutely adorable, good on you for taking them off the road, jeesh their fate could have been bad.....and your dad for seeing that one-all by himself!! I sure hope the Mom comes back for this little guy, guess you'll just have to keep an eye out for him/her & feed her some of that grass seed!!! Maybe if you have to move them again, put some gloves on (like the one you were wearing when working on the tractor) & then you wint have to worry about your 'human smell on them'. Awesome getting the Big Pond worked on. Maybe if your going to leave that little duckling in their you could give him a bit of clean water, like a couple of buckets? I would do the same, I like to save nature when I can!!! Stay Hydrated & dont work outside after 1pm, too hot!!! Cheers 😊

[@leonandvirginiaclark9506]

I’m glad you’re going to help your Dad, he’s always there for you. 👏❤️

[@karenbrest187]

Hi Jared 🤗 the baby ducks are so cute - hope Mom comes for it 🤞 weird looking creature you found best end 🤔. Each day getting something done on your house 👍 nice to see Matt & your Dad ☺️ hope your Mom is doing well 😉 pond will be beautiful when full of water again 💦 take care 🙏🇺🇲

[@journeyalongwithgen788]

Those ducks are Black belly whistling ducks. That’s why your whistling peeked it’s interest. Glad they came back for them. They were super cute.

[@lapetitemaison4219]

Great job helping all those baby ducks and I'm not sure ...but is that a Mud Puppy? Slow and steady on the house/shed. You always do such great work on those. So good your helping the homestead for your dad. I gripe about the heat here in Southern Iowa-especially since the rain has been going all around my little town and soaking everyone else. Glad I'm not down there. I burn like a lobster very easily even up here. Be safe in the heat. Peace Out.

[@kaycale9333]

❤que paticos más lindos si el agua hace falta para tener más animales alrededor se ve muy bien la tiny house usa

[@lorrieraetz647]

Your place is going to be such a welcoming place for ducks and other animals alike 😊 I'm sure your dad appreciates your help

[@adventureswithmawmawtina4879]

I looked it up it's a two-toed amphiuma those ducklings were cute the mom was beautiful ❤️🤩 great job guys. Stay cool. Much love and hugs

[@elizabethalderman3495]

I looked it up because you did. Said it's the largest of its kind in the world. Wow! If it bites you It requires stitches. So Jared was lucky.

[@suzanneburns2931]

Lots of content today , you lead a busy and interesting life , enjoyed the variety and the camera work . Continue to take care during this heat wave Crocker family . Blessings .❤️

[@sharonmiles9538]

All the baby ducks are ADORABLE! I don't know what that other thing was...too snake-like for me! You're a good man Jared, taking such care of GOD'S creatures! You and your Dad are AMAZING working in that heat! Be safe, stay hydrated! 🙏❤🙏

[@reneekeith945]

Oh my the babies are precious hope they find momma. The pond is dried up so crazy what the heat does!! It will look awesome when your finished and it's full. Stay safe Jared and Mr Crocker

[@taralink443]

two-toed amphiuma is an aquatic salamander. It is commonly, but incorrectly, called "congo snake", "conger eel" or the "blind eel".

[@hannakinn]

I love snakes and most lizards and several other types of salamanders but that salamander was just too gross looking for me. I like morey eels but can't stand Lampery eels and I was kinda getting that vibe from that ugly salamander. I love axolotls, super cool with their external gills.

[@mlkebradshaw5066]

Hi not a first time watcher but I really like the content of what you have on your channel I also would like to know where you purchased you

[@terrilepine9065]

the baby ducks are ADORABLE! Stay cool out there. Be safe, stay hydrated!

[@michelleworrell5815]

Aww Jared, Ty helpin those baby ducks out.. You’re such a Sweetheart!!❤ Your place is really coming along.. It looks so nice Honey.. 💙❤️✝️

[@kathyprecek5462]

Those babies were fulvous whistling ducks, and the adult duck was indeed their mother! Take care, that southTexas heat is awful!

[@gaylerichards7409]

Thank you & your dad for being good people and saving the ducks!

[@pambarab5506]

You and your dad are good men. You did what you could for the ducklings and the eel. The shed is looking great. Yall stay safe in that heat. I'm in east Texas, so maybe a little cooler, but we're hitting 100+ every day also.

[@tobymeade3222]

This is the time for Little Duckys! Its raining here in N6. For like 5,6 days straight!👍👌✌️🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄✨🌞

[@marianfrances4959]

Awww...love the baby ducks!! Wow on the empty big pond! Keep cool guys. 👍😎🇨🇦

[@AngelBluff]

Yes that was the Momma. They are Black Bellied Whistling Ducks. Some what rare and very lucky those hatched given the temps you guys have been having. Normally temps over 103* will kill the developing embryo. They lay very large clutches up to 22 at a time, but also have a very low survival rate Texas is the mail breeding ground for all of the US with this species. You are a sweetheart for trying to save them!!

[@lynnbetts4332]

Not sure how rare they are. They are fairly common up near Houston. They are unusual in that they roost in trees. I see them roosting in the pine trees next to my place. You can ID them from the salmon colored legs and beaks.

[@AngelBluff]

@@lynnbetts4332 Right in TX they are fairly common because South TX is their main breeding ground for all of the US. But for the rest of us they are rare to see. I'm a 35 +yr Birder and never saw one in person. They are Beautiful fowl

[@carolynmesser7199]

Oh cute little ducklings , I hope the mama comes back for them .

[@pureokie.]

HOW SWEET SPOTTED DUCKS ... YOR A KIND N CAREING SOUL JARED ... AND I THINK THAT OTHER TING WAS A LUNG FISH ..

[@jovitanavarro7247]

Howdy JB sending positive vibes from South Texas 😊

[@GrannyV29]

I am so glad to see you working with your dad. You just seem so much happier since you have moved back to south Texas. When you were on the other property, there were things you obviously enjoyed doing but just did not seem overall happy. I love your smile and your eagerness to get things done your way.

[@marthajessiejamesartscraft5103]

Cute lil babies.😊

[@debbiekinnell9349]

Absolutely gorgeous wee ducks your a very kind man xx

[@Blueyes7791]

Aw Thank God for Real Men AMEN u saved the duckies so sweet GOD BLESS YALL

[@christinahaythorne3633]

I have 2 ducks that swim in my driveway after it rains. But those babies are darn cute!

[@reneekeith945]

Awe the baby ducks are precious. Did they find their Mom? It's great you can clean up the pond but dry the heat is crazy! Stay safe Jared and Mr Crocker

[@peanut8400]

Wild Black-bellied tree duck (Black-bellied Whistling-Duck)

[@sprancho669]

It looks dry down there. Believe we're a little drier west of Waco. It's so dry, the catfish we caught over the weekend had ticks on them!

[@georgecrocker3126]

🤣

[@roadtripslifeandredox]

Awesome you tried to save the baby ducklings. The soil from the pond bed looks like would make garden addition. Maybe the pond/tank will fill back with the tropical rains.

[@virginiacurrey2019]

Redoing a pond is so interesting. Gee! It’s going to be pretty, and then stock fish… neat.

[@belindajorgensen3755]

I believe you your met to live back there your motivation to do things is motivating your dad to get the thing he has always wanted to do out there done and l love how he just gets in and helps you when you need it it is really great.

[@aliceevans3357]

Instead of a wild goose chase you and your dad were on a wild duck chase. Cute fellers. Hope Texas gets some rain. Stay safe and GOD bless

[@ritaplatz5013]

Gotta love a man with power tools, a dirty sense of humor, and that saves baby ducklings 😂

[@charlotteforrester3118]

Hopefully y’all get some rain soon and definitely cooler weather. Just be extremely careful in the heat. You and your dad are a good team and very hard workers. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@feliciamarquez9621]

They are so cute beautiful coat marking at least in the pond it will keep them cool❤❤

[@Yvonneb_]

Everything looking great Jared with the house and the pond xx

[@LIBRTY1]

HEY I'M LOCATED AT LAKE CORPUS CHRISTI SOUTH OF YOU. I USED TO WORK LIKE YOU WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE. I'M NOW 73 AND NOT QUITE AS EASY. COUPLE HOURS AT A TIME ALL I CAN DO. I SUBSCRIBED AND WILL KEEP WATCHING.

[@dawnkangas2968]

Those baby ducks 🦆 were so cute 🥰 awesome work today love ❤️ you

[@ana2722]

Huge pond area, awesome, Mr. Crocker found the baby duck 😀

[@tammywragg6254]

That was an EEL..salamanders are smaller and have legs..hope the ducks find their moms ..so cute..

[@carolcalf2032]

Love the baby ducks Jared. I bet it’s hot working on your house. Take care you don’t want your scar being infected and you know only too well how bad that can be. You are doing a grand job mate. I bet your parents are glad you live close to them.

[@roberthalesr.2298]

That's great you saved those babies

[@randallfelber6795]

What you had found was a lungfish, had one in my tank for about 30 yrs. They breath air and bury in the mud for up to 3 yrs......

[@debbiekinnell9349]

It’s great u and ur dad can turn ur hands to anything xxx

[@tammyhenry2073]

Glad you are getting to help your dad out you both keep up the good work hope you both stay cool drink plenty of water

[@mariannebimler8438]

Hi Jared, Hi George. You two guys are doing a lot of work. And it looks awesome! Keep up the good work! Fellas don't work too hard. Y'all have a blessed day ❤️❤️✌️

[@lindastewart8815]

Jared you and Dad truly have big hearts for wild life God Bless you both your both working hard plus doing a great job looking good

[@toddogre2491]

I think the snake looking thing was a two toed amphiuna. I pretty sure that's what it was

[@simplyfloridian8673]

The baby ducks are so cute! And your thing as you call it; here in FL, I was told that they are called Newts. Stay safe in the heat and hydrate often! God bless! 🤣🙏

[@pawsnazzy01]

Those are Black-bellied whistling duck, they are and very beautiful but spooky. We have a lot of them that nest near my home. The Mallards and others that nest in neighborhood ponds will let my grandson feed them. they eat out of his hand as do the Canada geese, but not the whistlers. You guys need an Excavator so you can cut little channels in the pond that you couldn't do with the tractor

[@ana2722]

Sweet baby ducks, hello Mr. Crocker, Oh Jared Lol hahaha!!! Let's get to work 😅, hi Matt 👋 God bless you all 🙏

[@kathyimm2567]

Ahhh. Jared, you have my heart!! Indigos are great, had one slide across the yard today

[@gaylerichards7409]

Thanks for saving the salamander too!

[@valfunk4669]

[@sandilacy9498]

Oh my, those ducklings are adorable!

[@marthalyday8121]

That is the cutis thing i could watch them all day,

[@cooterpooter]

Hey man. Get you several towels, wet em, put each in a zip lock in the freezer, take one out for your neck as needed and rotate em. Keep em washed and use in or out of the bag. ( I prefer out so it hangs around my neck.) Does wonders in helping stay cool.💚

[@jeanburgin160]

Oh how cute!!! Feed them and maybe they will stay! so cute. She is pretty ... what kind of duck is this? She is pretty. Yes, you all be careful out in the heat ...

[@South_Texas_Roots]

Black bellied whistling duck. Pretty cool looking duck in my opinion.

[@rosenovotny8173]

Well look who it is good ole Matt, hello good to see you big bro ✌️

[@glenokla4079]

Such precious little ducks! I hope they make it. As for the creature you found, it's as gross as the little ducks are precious. Great job on the pond guys! It's going to be super nice. Great seeing Matt for a second too. X's &

[@sharonc.cooper9367]

You and your dad are such hard workers and kudos for saving the baby ducks and that other thing. Lol yuck, it was ugly.

[@hamimahatan6307]

Cute little ducks Jared… ❤❤

[@LovinOffGrid]

been researching how to build a small pond people use swine and duck crap to seal the pond 🌼 i really need a little watering hole out here an actual pond that can be made a little bigger each year or two What a PRIVILEGE to work our own land huh. love you

[@rt3box6tx74]

Friends put in a little duck pond where the soil was sandy. It took a few yrs to accumulate enough poop to seal it, but they did the job.

[@deborahdelmain9119]

Awesome video, and I love the baby ducks.

[@willaputney3947]

LOVE THE DUCKLINGS MARKINGS. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL DECIDE TO LIVE THERE
