So many people are having a hard time getting birds to hatch and survive this year. We definitely are with our peafowl. I wish I knew why; nobody seems to totally understand what’s causing it. Please ignore the folks who criticize what you do. I’m betting that none of them have a true working farm like you do. One of the things that makes your channel so great is that you honestly and humbly learn as you go and share that with your followers. You’re doing a great job! Keep it up!

@@tonynguyen6313 They tried to do something for the other two weak ones. Nature is something that chooses the strong and weak, their gene pool pretty much. It’s natures way of keeping weak genes from passing on to the next generation, so those ducklings had something wrong with them and that’s not by choice of this family. Humans can only play god so much, we can’t completely control life and death. If that were they case, none of our loved ones would ever die, whether young or old.

I completely agree with you, Laurel. I had a broody hen, she had 23 eggs under her, most of them hatched, but unfortunately they died when they where wet. I just had one baby hatch from her, but he died. (Hawk, and he was a month old) there also was a broody hen that sat on the first broody hens eggs. 6 hatched, but only 2 survived. It’s such a weird thing. I wonder why this year is not doing well? +please, never give up. I currently only have one baby chick still alive, (I have 9 hens, and 1 rooster)but, I will not give up, and I will always have next year.

The best way to heat any warm blooded animal back to body temp is with your OWN BODY HEAT… hold them against your stomach and it’ll raise their temp perfectly. The direct air from the blow dryer can be too much for them to catch their breath.

Or with literally any amount of research. They knew the babies would die if they didn't get them out of the box and they also should have known that wood ducks don't go back into the nest once they leave. So, basically, they let these babies die for content. Letting nature do its thing is one thing, but then they tried to revive them and made a video about this completely predictable "crisis".

Liked the video but can agree with some that the deaths could of been avoided, it is very cramped conditions and the ducklings in the box wouldn’t of died if you took them in, the mother will only focus on the ones that are out and not in especially if it’s dark she won’t go back up at night when she knows she has to keep her present babies warm. I know your desperate to level the numbers but it’s way to cramped keep a nice small number and once the aviary is done and ready then you can hatch as many as you want with in reason. Keep up the good work on your videos can’t wait for the next ones

You want to warm them with body heat or a lamp/heat pad rather than a blow dryer because it can burn, especially on such thin skin. With dew still on the grounds in the morning and winds the chicks are going to get cold, they're much smaller than us still. Overall they also need larger pen sizes because wood ducks and other breeds can be very territorial. There's plenty of amazing sources to take tips from, I'd recommend doing some more research.

I see some people are very upset that so many birds died. I will admit it is a very sad thing to see. However, knowing to take them away comes with experience and sometimes you have to have the failures to learn exactly what to do next time. Unfortunately if those chicks had been in the wild they would have died anyway, it's kind of harsh to say but very true. It's all part of life, doesn't make is any less sad though. I just had a litter of kittens all pass away from Panleukopenia and it was terrible. With all that said. I don't think Jake and Becky are mis treating their animals. Do they need more space yes, and that is something they are working on. It is taking longer than planned but it is something they are working on. I'm not saying they are perfect as no one is but I don't think they are being cruel or behaving in a way that is overly harmful to their animals.

That way you get more money for them and you avoid all those idiots that messed up your sales last time. Just a thought

@@whitehouseonthehill I know but maybe just have one pen specifically for mommas and babies only and when more hens hatch more babies just throw them all in there. Pretty sure they wouldn’t fight. Or you could’ve put the mom in that little pen too that you put the babies inside the shed. You would’ve had better rate with her in there since it’s small she’d have to sit and they could’ve went under her. Cus even in the future cage if the babies don’t follow the mol they’re gana die since she’ll be outside. And it’ll be a big cage. I’d say best best is as soon as they hatch put all babies and their mommas in a small cage for about 2 weeks just till they’re strong enough to be outside

I’ve had absolutely no luck in raising mandarins, hatched three and no matter what we did we couldn’t get them to eat! It was so upsetting.

Make a mash of the feed like oatmeal. Put in a call duck chick to show them how to eat. Can add duck weed and meal worms.

A year later, I've spoken to breeders, & they are still hatching more drakes, then hens plus hatching rates are still low. The type of duckling i wanted still hasn't become available for me to buy locally.

I had a near death duckling thisyear and I stuck her in my shirt and warmed her up. when I could see the slight flicker of her throat indicating a beating heart. I warmed her up as I got a brooder set up. got her in. She's 8 weeks old now.

@@naerwyn239 Exactly!!! If they took as much time educating themselves as they do making KZfaq videos the animals would be a lot better off. Animals aren’t here to sacrifice their lives so stupid humans can “do what they feel is best.” WHotH clear;y has the internet, they should be doing better.

I certainly love ducks, especially after one of my hens hatched out 13 khaki Campbell x black swedish, I am thankful for a pair of Toulouse geese to keep everyone (including me) in line!

I love your channel and your sweet family. I know when I click on a video made by you that is going to be wonderful. I don't think any other channel does videos like you do where you will take clips and show us from start to finish in one vlog. I don't know how you keep up with it. Do you create files with the project name and just dump the clips in that file? That is the only way I would be able to do it. Anyway, GREAT job. Keep up the great work. BTW did you guys ever say what y'all are having?
