I appreciate the fact that you guys wait to film the whole series before posting it up. So impatient people like me don't have to wait a whole month to see if those the eggs hatched or not 😍 love yall
Honestly, if breeding had started when there were 100+ individuals left, they'd have had a chance, but not when the original breeding stock was 15. Hybridizing them with similar ducks is the only way to save them from becoming too inbred to even be able to hatch, let alone survive. This breed of ducks will not exist for more than a few more generations... Its pretty sad really.
The Keeper but then again, some animals have made miraculous comebacks such as the Californian condor and the Hawaiian Crow, where their populations were less that 20 breeding pairs. I think the condors were down to the single digits at its lowest.
@@The_Keeper if they can get the breeding enough generations removed it would end up ok. If you breed with third fourth fifth cousins you are ok. Its the first cousins siblings and parents breeding together that is the issue.
Every time you open the incubator during hatching (including pipping) you lower their chances of survival because of the sudden humidity drop which can get them shrink wrapped by the membranes inside the eggs. It seems harmless because you don't see anything dramatic happening when you do it but it affects the chicks. Also, all of the commonly hatched birds can survive at least 24 hours (some even 48 hours) inside the incubator while they "absorb" the remainder of the egg yolk and there's absolutely no reason to take them out before that. The last couple days of the incubation cycle are commonly referred to as "lock down" for a reason.
Every time they manhandle hatching eggs or freshly hatched chicks I wanna scream, it’s so frustrating. Just leave em be. Like with mandarins where he spooked the hen off the nest for photo ops.
I 100% agree unless it a emergency but no you really should not open when they need nothing disturbing I would agree it upsetting but i surely hope he learns
I feel so many more would have made it if he just let them be......an didn't take them out just to look an jostle around. But maybe he'll learn from this experience? I hope so.
I could see the pain and sadness in your eyes at 7:38, that’s why I love this Channel so much because you don’t do what you do for views you do it cause you love to, and respect you so much for that ❤️ 🥺
Captain Hook & Smee were the first two names I thought of. Sticking with the Peter Pan theme here are a few other suggestions: Wendy, Michael, John, Tinker (or Tinker Bell), Tiger Lily, Nana, Peter (or Peter Pan or split the name and have a Peter and a Pan), Tick-Tock
Love y'all's videos a ton! Been watching for a long time and love to see the care you put into every animal! As a waterfowl biologist, I do think I have to point out a couple things about hookbills, just for some clarification and fun facts! 1.) They aren't an actual species of duck, and are just a breed of domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus)-- the same as most farm ducks. This is important to note for population status purposes. The FAO has listed them as an "endangered" breed, but this doesn't have any impact on natural systems, like a wild species would (wild species are classified by the IUCN or individual governments). Essentially, they have fallen out of favor for commercial farmers, being replaced by other breeds (or chickens, in this case). 2.) That bow in the bill doesn't help or hurt foraging, and it probably came about by accident as farmers selectively bred them for laying. They tend to be frequent layers, and were extremely common when duck eggs were household staples in Europe. When chicken eggs were found to be more consistent, there was a switch from ducks to chickens, and commercial farmers stopped breeding hookbills because they weren't as profitable as chickens. Sorry for the long comment! Just wanted to clear that up for anyone that might get confused by other people calling it a species!
What a shame that those little ducks didn’t hatch but the two you have are great. It’s wonderful to see you adding to the population of an endangered species. Also exciting to be able to watch the progress of these hatchings. ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
How about Daffy and Fancy.. I love how you care for animals & BIRDS! I rescued a Robin when I was a child..other birds too & cared for them till they could fly...God's creation AMAZES ME!😍
I'm sure you've hatched a lot of eggs but one problem I see is that you open the incubator too many times during the time the eggs are setting ,every time the incubator is opened even for a few seconds lowers the humidity and the chicks dry out in the shell and die ,once the eggs are set, the incubator should stay closed with high humidity until 24 hours after hatching date .
Seeing u cry for the little ducks that didn't make it made me cry. U have such a good heart and ur kids r gonna grow up to appreciate animals just like u and ur wife. 💜💜💜
I found out that ducklings do much better under a broody hen (or another good mother bird) than in the incubator 4/7 survived in the incubator whereas 6/6 survived under the hen.
I suggest Captain Hook, BILLy, and HOOKleberry for names! I’m so glad y’all are spending the money and time to save this species of duck. Wish I could help, but unfortunately I do not nor can not own ducks. Lysm ❤️ P.S. I sent you fan mail! ❤️Colby
How cool!!! I recently got a breeding group of hookbills in NS Canada (totally not knowing how rare they are) and expecting our first hatch any day! Such a fun breed 🦆🦆
I love your channel and your family, after reading some of the comments, I went to the channel (A chick named Albert) from July7th 2018 and watched him hatch 3 out of 4 of these rare ducks and has some interesting information on hatching these ducklings if you ever get more eggs. I suggest you give it a look he's been raising ducks for over 30 years. Good luck and can't wait to see your aviary complete
I appreciate that you show the beauty and death on your farm. People often forget just how harsh life is...sometimes death just happens. It's a good life lesson for your kids to recognize that life that passed and appreciate what they have.
Greetings from Serbia! I also breed various types of animals. I would like to give you a few tips that will be useful to you in raising ducks. When buying eggs, always keep in mind that there is a possibility that the parent flock is not fed properly. I advise you to always make a hole in the egg near the air chamber on the 26th day of incubation in order to increase the chances of hatching. You can make a hole with any sharp object. I would like you to use this advice next time. It proved useful to me. I wish you good luck! :) @white hous on the hill
"We are grateful for what we have and we will be trying again" this line of yours was really awesome. It's so nice to see the love and care your family show for these animals. Wondering if you have any future plans for adding exotic parrots to your collection.
Come to think of it, one of the other youtubers, I watched periodically hatched this breed of duck and went into their history and why their on the brink. I think he too had to drill into some eggs to save some of the ducklings due to it being a defect of their inbreeding/low gene pool, some don't make it others get an underdeveloped egg tooth and their very particular on hatching temp, moisture and when rolled.
I had no idea these beautiful ducks even existed.Thank you for doing your part to bring them back and for sharing them with us here. I hope someone shares some more with you soon,y'all are so wonderful with your birds.
Thank you for this. I just recently hatched out two different batches of ayam cemani eggs and only got two birds. Out of over 20 eggs. I had a high fertility, but a low hatch rate, it was so disappointing. But the two birds are now three months old and going strong! Good luck to your little ones!
This is adorable omg I love this, it’s so sad that these guys are endangered but I’m so happy your helping them! Hopefully these guys will reproduce and get the numbers back up!
I had similar experiences with Indian runners and Muscovies this year (haven’t kept ducks for a long time) and came to the conclusion that they were slightly to big to hatch. So I’m going to try just doing 40% humidity next time with 60+ for last 3 days same as I do for chickens. I have a brinsea ovation advanced so it has the same accurate humidity control. Judging by your candling I think they might have been on the large side too. Did they pip internally? Water spraying actually pulls moisture from the egg as it evaporates of the surface, so maybe if you had better success before at same humidity the spraying might have helped them lose a bit more weight.
I love these ducks along with your other beauties. Hatch-A-Holic for sure. Keep Hatching Jake. Love yall. Baby Isaiah was close to naptime I think. He is even cute with fixing to pitch a little fit. lol
I wish you were more clear with you terminology. Just mentioning that this is a breed of domestic duck and not a species of its own would be helpful. Mentioning that their 'critically endangered' status is through livestock registries and not the IUCN would be better. Breed extinction is still a big loss, just ask pre-contact dogs, but it isn't the same thing as extinction of an entire domestic animal or of its wild forebears.
That's wonderful you are hatching those endangered ducks. Sorry more didn't make it. But, you are the best person to hatch different birds and knowledgeable.
You have taught me a lot about chickens and ducks, even if I have been around them my whole lives, just little tips and tricks that makes them happy and healthy. Thank you
Awwwwwww!!!!! I love, love, love watching your hatching videos. You are the best at showing the whole process! Very cool that you were able to get a couple out of the total number of eggs. I had never heard about this breed before so pretty awesome to learn about them and watch the hatching process here. Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
I just saved three ducklings because the mom was found decapitated and so I hatched them out and they are almost 6 weeks old. Anyway their names are Bean, Puddle and Kiwi I thought that you might like one of the names so ya ( also I love your videos and can’t wait to watch them whenever you post!❤️
I would suggest Captain Hook and Smee. When I was little I loved Peter Pan and I always found Captain Hook and Smee a pretty funny and hilarious duo, they always made me laugh. Your ducks are beautiful, I'm so glad you managed to incubate at least 2 of them❤️
Aww I'm so happy to see at least two hatch.. 🐣 It's a shame there weren't more but I will always enjoy the hatching videos, as that is what brought me to this channel 💕
I like the names Bow and Archer. Also it's soo cool to see you guys working with these endangered ducks. I hope someone will be able to help out with hatching more.
We are sorry that the odds were against you with this batch of eggs, so disappointed for you BUT I want to thank you. While it was terribly hard for you to have the odds against you, you said you were grateful for what you did get. That is a lesson that we are always reminding our 7 year of and hearing you say it with what had occurred really made it hit home for him. So even when you are not planning on it, you send a wonderful message during tough times to your younger viewers (may a few of us grown ups need to be reminded to be grateful too). We are loving this Peter Pan themed names for these 2 little ducks, Captain Hood and Smee or Pan....
I'm so sorry for your losses! I can see the painin your eyes when you discovered the fate of the majority of the clutch and it brought tears to my eyes for you! I bet you'll raise the two survivors to be amazing ducks and help conserve the species!
It always amazes me when you candle the eggs and see movement and blood supply even a heartbeat. I've seen Albert bring chicks back by breathing on them to keep them warm. You need to contact this guy
I love your channel.. the video quality it's just amazing and the shots you get are astonishing..you deserve so many more subscribers. You have a Beautiful family ..
I appreciate the fact that you guys wait to film the whole series before posting it up.

2/14 are low odds. We hope you get more to hatch. This species needs a come back.

@@The_Keeper Kinda, by good selecting breeding they could get a proper population.

He fiddles to much in my opinion.
I feel so many more would have made it if he just let them be......an didn't take them out just to look an jostle around. But maybe he'll learn from this experience? I hope so.
Thinking the same, hope he read this commet so he will be more careful with his next hatching adventure and will give him more success 🙂

The ducks are so precious! It is sad to see some not make it but I feel like you did the best you could do!!
Waddles and Puddles if boys..............Lucy and Daisy if girls.
That's so CUTE!
These are super cute names
For some ducks you cant tell the gender for many weeks. Our Indian runner was between 6 to 8 months when we found out he was a boy named Mali....lol
One of each by the looks of it
He has super funny
I think you should name one Dill and the other Pickle
I love it 👏🏻
I second that!
Adorable!
I like that. And it works because dill pickles are usually curved.
YES
Oh wow! I was actually wondering if you'd ever get some of these ever since I saw A Chick Called Albert's video on them.
Imagine chillin in the womb and suddenly there's a light shining directly in your face, and you aren't even being born!
Their names : ASHISH which means blessings and ANOOP which means incompareable ;the best ;unique . Thankyou.
Your videos are always awsome .
It is wonderful what you are doing to preserve this species! How interesting these ducks will be as we watch them mature!
There is Captein Hook (from neverland with Tinker...) and Doctor Hook. So, Cap and Doc?
Wow! Never heard of them! What awesome looking babies and awesome you guys are taking part in keeping them alive! 🐝🐝🐝🐝
These hatching videos are so exciting and super entertaining. Please make more when you can!

I love the names Captain Hook, Peter Pan and other themed names so if you get more you can name them off of the characters on Peter Pan
Names for your new ducks... From my favorite movie, "To Kill A Mockingbird" , Jem & Scout.
Nena Elliott it has a movie?
Wanderling Sapling yeah, like all movies though the book is much better
@@wanderlingsapling1434 book and play
@@wanderlingsapling1434 yes, the book is better but the movie is wonderful. Atticus is played by Gregory Peck. Boo Radley is Robert Duvall.

So no one finna talk about how in 8:49 the duckling bit tf outta the baby turtles head

The problem is inbreeding means many are dying quickly

i love that you always try to make the world better
I think you had to raise the humidity some days before hatching, or even wet the eggs with a spray water
True... I didn’t spray this time. I usually do with duck eggs. I’ll try it next time to see if that helps.
@@whitehouseonthehill yeah probably was that , they developed but dry out and couldn't hatch. better luck next time
I had similar experiences with Indian runners and Muscovies this year (haven’t kept ducks for a long time) and came to the conclusion that they were slightly to big to hatch.
