Wood duck ducklings (2nd clutch) leaving nest box
This clip is from this hen's 2nd nest for the season. A total of 10 eggs were laid but only 2 hatched. As the clip starts she jumps up to the entry hole and begins urging her 2 chicks to follow. After 4-1/2 minutes they start climbing up the grate and then jump out after her. (Sorry no slide or kiddie pool this time)
UPDATE: 4 unhatched eggs were left behind after they left. Overnight, one of those abandoned eggs hatched on it's own and then 2 more hatched this morning (7/26). The mother came back this morning and found the 3 newly hatched ducklings and has been with them since. I do not know what she has done with the 2 chicks that left yesterday. I have started live streaming this nest box again while this is happening.

Two determined little babies on their way into the wide world. Well done for giving Mama a safe place to nest. I'm almost afraid to watch the woodpecker livestream. I can't believe how constant that mother's efforts are, & that poor little naked baby all alone on the hard wood. I'm worried it won't survive, but maybe it's all completely normal & everything is going just as it should in order for the baby to survive. Again, thank you for your efforts, & for sharing with us!!!! Hi from Ontario, Canada
Bummer no slide, that was really something kinda funny. When I see ducks nest up high in apartment buildings on their porches, well I guess momma wasn't thinking about hatch day. Luckily humans helped momma get her babies down 12 stories. I guess ducklings are resilient to a fall luckily the grass is soft
How many ducklings was that? I lost count around 5. How are they doing now? Any predated?
What a video! So cute. Yes, I wonder if the mother would come back to pick up the last one without the intervention of the human. So, i love it. Thanks for sharing this cute video.
Only animals respect nature, only the quality survive to maintain the species. As for humans....sigh....
You put her in a « very small » box that she couldn’t turn all eggs and that’s why many of them didn’t hatch. Try something bigger next time and don’t focus more on making UA-cam videos.
Aww so cute bless them coming down the slide 🛝 🦆Thank you for caring 😊
How sad😭💔
Wood ducks are prolific egg layers. By the end of the season there are many unhatched eggs in every box. I just throw out the unhatched eggs in the winter when I clean the boxes otherwise the eggs self distruct in the spring heat. Been a wood duck landlord for about 15 years.
In another video of yours you set a trap for the babies and they had a hard time getting out. Please leave nature alone, They have been doing that for thousands of years.
Get off his back about it. He could just put a little more thought into the kiddie pool. As for the other commenter, in that climate and temperature the mother only incubates the eggs to keep them cool, the eggs that did not hatch were probably not viable. Thank you for providing a safe habitat for this duck family to fulfill it's life cycle free of predators.
Who's egg in there
@Palm City Florida can you please post an update on the red bellied woodpecker nest? It’s no longer live and the last of the live videos was only 16 seconds long and the remaining egg was gone. Did the male intruder steal that one too? Also, just wondering why anyone would have to be a subscriber for 17 years to be able to chat? I am certain that if you don’t plan on ever having a chat when streaming your live cams you can just remove the chat option all together. By the way, I watched the wood ducks going down the slide video and it was adorable. I also watched the video of the adults waiting for them outside. There seemed to have been more than one families waiting though. How many females laid all the eggs in the nest box? Or did they all come from one female? Looking forward to your reply…
Two days before that last egg was scheduled to hatch a male woodpecker again entered the box while both parents were out and stole it! I initially allowed chat on the live stream but it soon started populating with unrelated political postings & profanity so I found it was easier to shut it off than to constantly censor it. Yes you can remove the chat option, but I've only found 2 ways to remove BOTH the chat & the comments on live streams. 1) In the live stream's settings you can check the "Yes, it's made for kids" box which will stop both, but will also completely stop UA-cam from promoting it. 2) Set the chat to "subscribers only" and add a ridiculous time period. Those wood duck ducklings were the offspring of 3 different females. The only wood duck in the video was the mother that did the incubating, all the other ducks (most of which are Black Bellied Whistling Ducks) are there because I put out cracked corn each morning. I cleaned the duck nest box the day they left and for the past week a few Black Bellied Whistling ducks have been going inside each morning and testing out the new wood shavings. I expect them to start laying eggs soon and intend to live stream that also. Lastly, I have not seen any of the ducklings since they left the box but I'm not concerned since the lake we're on is large enough for them to disappear while they grow up. I'm quite confident that at least a few will survive to adulthood.
Are all those chicks, plus unhatched eggs, from a single pair?
During the mating season many single males do force mating with any female they find so a female could be force mating with 10 males and that’s why you see many eggs
Baby ducks always astonish me…how they are like some little army dudes that just instinctively fall into rank and file 😂
Place like that in New York would run you about $500 mo.
Hi-la-ri-ous!!!🤣🤣🤣
Sad wen day leave their nest😢
This is so fascinating, never knew how they got out of the box. So adorable.
Oh God their so cute❤❤❤
Amazing video. Thanks for all your work on this. I see why they have so many to end up with only a few making it to adulthood.
Beautiful 😍
It made me think of popcorn popping.
This is amazing!! You truly are an amazing man ❤a heart of gold
Ducklings: nature's lunchable.
Last one isn't too bright i guess.
Wait, what happened later with those unhatched eggs?
Noooo
Jesus the muscles on their feet is ridiculous
Omg!! Fantastic!! I was worried about that little one!!!
Almost Like an IQ Test .
Did one mama have all those babies?
No, three separate hens contributed a total of 34 eggs to that nest. Google the phrase "wood duck egg dumping" for an explanation.
Awww ❤
So sweet ❤
Thank you for helping the last baby. It was nervous to see the last duckling. I thought that you should build something similiar a small bridge for them easier to climb, enough height for them to come out, & safe for them. May God bless you!
A bridge would obstruct the space for the adult ducks to enter, plus there’s no guarantee the ducklings would use it over climbing mesh to get towards the hole.
So grateful the last duckling got help!!
Good thing this nest in farm environment cause otherwise these two last definitely died shortly after leaving the nest.
Brilliant - thank you!
What a perfect set up, need higher guard rails, please do a slow motion of the duck slide, in Florida that slide must be hot. Can you lower the opening? Or would that be dangerous for hunting critters like snakes or other baby bird snatchers how are the ones going off the sides?
I wonder how they survive at night now that they are out of the nest. They can't go back up there. The pool setup was nice. Maybe a wider slide next time. I love the 🦆🦆🦆
OMG looka all those bebeh ducks! ❤ 😍
I was rooting so hard for that little guy, he nearly made it a few times. Thank you for saving him 🙏👏
Lovely video, it is curious that the adult ducks watching the hatchlings slide down are Black Bellied Whistling Ducks and not Wood Ducks.
Amazing
Oh my god!
Last chick ..... if at first you don't succeed....wait for human intervention 😂😂😂😂😂
I saw it when it happened, i felt sorry for the last little one. Thanks to the hooman that save him
My goodness, so many of them. They are so sweet. Beautiful adults. Thank you for caring for these babies!
These videos were so entertaining! 👍
aww the last little buddy ❤
Was the last one reunited with mother and siblings? It was a bit too young for leaving the nest 😢
Yes it was. I initially dropped it in the kidde pool hoping mom would come back up to claim it but I inadvertently scared her & the ducklings off into the lake when I opened the nest box. The final scene is me moving it from the pool to the lake where it made a beeline to successfully join it's siblings.
@@PalmCityFlorida Nice!!
Brilliant compilation! Thank you for being so caring of them ❤
