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

    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 TH-cam videos.

    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.

    @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…

    • @PalmCityFlorida
      @PalmCityFlorida 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 TH-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?

    • @RSolitaire
      @RSolitaire 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

      No, three separate hens contributed a total of 34 eggs to that nest. Google the phrase "wood duck egg dumping" for an explanation.

    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!

    • @TitaniumTurbine
      @TitaniumTurbine 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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?

  • @skytechbits

      @PalmCityFlorida 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
