Baby geese hatching DIY nest box

- May 2021 Finally! PART 1 of 2 of our Canada geese hatching the first ever clutch of eggs from our DIY floating nesting box/floating nest platform, and we were able to capture the whole thing up close and personal with our nest camera, a Reolonk Argus Eco wireless camera! Join us for the fun and some tense moments during this process as the eggs start hatching and mother goose starts communicating with them. They start peeping even before they hatch from the eggs. Then after the clutch hatches, the mother goose and father goose try coaxing them off of the next and into our farm pond, but after 2 days they still don't want to leave the nest! That is where PART 2 will continue the story of our first ever wild goose or waterfowl hatching family! This is all happening on our farm pond from our Southern Illinois farm. We really enjoy wildlife, wildlife conservation, wildlife photography and more. We've had several pair of nesting Canada Geese over the last few years but predators constantly raided their nest. So a couple of years ago Mrs. Kapper built this DIY floating nest platform to try to give them a better chance of actually hatchings some eggs before predators got them. This is our first success! Thanks for joining us, and if you enjoy this video please hit the like button and share it for us on social media, we really appreciate that! Thank you. Stay tuned for Part 2.

Nice!!!! Boy, the geese at our tiny lake sure were making a lot of noise today. We have four ducks and a eagle too. There was a pair of swans here but I did not see them. Enjoy your part of nature.
That is awesome! Thanks man
Cool beans love it👍😆...
Great video Kapper y’all be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
Thanks! You too!
Well six out of seven isn't bad for the first time. Great seeing they hatched and are growing.
No doubt, a decent start on this new journey!
Amazing video 👏👍to the both of you
.. well done 🇺🇸
Thank you so much 😀! Please share it, we appreciate that! Part 2 is even better! Coming out today, thanks.
great video . the end cards covered the text . I was going ask about the geese I'm glad you gave us an update
Yeah just noticed that and fixed it. But Part 2 is coming out today. If you liked it please share it we really appreciate that! Stay tuned. Thanks.
I love these videos! We have a pair at our pond, and long story short, they're working on their second nest for this year. Every year that we've lived here either a predator got the eggs before they hatched or the pond flooded badly. So we're heading to stores today to get what we need to build them a simple platform. :D
Yes they have lost many chicks and eggs over the years here! But now that they know to sleep on the raft, their success has been much better! Best of luck! Thanks
Fantastic nature video so glad that the floatin nest worked so well this year 👍👍
Yep, but we lost some... Part 2 should be out today, thank you
Wonderful ! :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome video folks. They seem to be like most kids these days, can’t get them out of the house lol
You got that right! Part 2 is exciting, and they nearly have to pull them out of the basement! lol

6 out of 7 not bad. 🐣🐣🐤🐤🐥🐥🦢
I agree! Stay tuned, I have to put an update vid to see how many survived and how they are doing. Thank you.
Have you ever had your pond trapped for turtles? I'm just asking cause the turtles will eat those baby geese
No, never really had much of a turtle problem. Most of them are not big enough for the baby geese, but maybe some big snappers could eat them.
Duck😊
Hey Kapper I’ve been wondering about the little baby gooses
It will be here before you know it them little fellers will be flying north or south depending on the season
Can I ask you if it’s save to remove the eggs of Canadian geese from the pool area to my backyard. The residents in my neighborhood can’t stand geese and want to call the geese police to remove them. But I want to protect the eggs and safely relocate them. Do you think it is possible? And how? I need advice ASAP please! 🙏
Well we can't give wildlife advice but it sounds like you are in a pickle. I'm sure there are federal regs regarding taking of eggs of waterfowl. I don't know what would happen if you removed the whole nest and moved it. Maybe if momma saw and followed you it could work. But best of luck whatever happens!
They already removed it. And poor geese were 😡 mad that someone took their eggs. I came too late. 😞
I had one pair of geese have 5 babies this spring, but haven't seen them since the first few days. No idea where they went or what happened to them??
Well, I'll just say it has been a very interesting ride for us, and a learning experience to boot. Watch for part 2 today, might give you some hope! ?
I guess the sides are too high? They just don't seem to get they should go for the opening
oh they will figure it out in part 2!~ lol
I wish I knew how to protect them from coins and hawks. Any ideas ?
No idea. But after seeing a few hatches now I do think that some of the parents are much smarter at protecting the little ones. Thanks.
Mama can't seem to coax them out!
Nope.. I think the 'born leader' of the pack was in that 7th egg that did not hatch! lol
OH MY GOD!!!! I juts want to grab them and toss them in the water!
lmao, wait for part 2!!! LOL Coming out today!! Amazing stuff! And if you like them please share them we really appreciate that!!
Do you have turtles? I want to do this but im afraid the turtles will take it over
Yes we have turtles, they don't really bother the eggs. Not sure if big snappers have got any chicks though over the years.
Omg not another Canadian goose video, basically annoying flying rats. We can send you truck loads if you want then.
Well, seeing how we are not in the major flyway, they are a treat here!
