- Unfortunately, death is always a possibility on the farm. In this video, there's a lot of joy and happiness as we have sweet little ducklings hatch in our new incubator. However, we also have sadness as well. Things did not go as we had hoped this time. Please join us as we share the experience with you.

Sarah, you can tell you will make an amazing nurse! You will be a natural 😊
I loved watching this! I have a mallard couple that are in our salt water pool for the 3rd year in a row. If you are familiar with salt water pools, you don’t notice the salt when swimming even with your eyes open under water. A few weeks into pool season, they will actually stay in the pool while we are swimming! We named them Lucy & Ricky🦆🥰
I love the hatching process. I cried for the loss and was joyous of the ones that made it. I am so proud the littlest made it. You could hear everyone cheering him on. 😊❤😊❤
Abigail is the cutest that smile ! Love watching these! Thanks for sharing!
I love when you post things like this it amazes me how God is with life babys being born ❤God bless you and your family much love from Michigan 🙏❤️
I love these precious hatching videos! The ducklings are too cute and funny. It sure is lot of work for you to take care of the process.. and film it for us. Thank you ❤️
You are true animal caregivers. God bless!
Anyone else crying when the little one made it
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Loved this educational video Janice. The patience you have is amazing. Thank you for all the time you spent videoing these little miracles.❤
For some reason, whenever I hatch eggs I'm as amazed as a child. It's fun to watch still and I've been doing it for over 30 years.
This is so fascinating to me.thanks for sharing🐝💐🐝💐🐝💐🐝
How cute i am waiting for the second one to be born. What a great video.
what a special video again that you are sharing Janice...I love watching the hatchings....so happy the ending for the little one looks to have turned the corner and it will do ok now...but as the 'underdog' it probably will have to learn fast to be tough for it's size. It looks like such a cute little ducky. I would be tempted to make it into a 'pet'.
He looks like a beautiful miniature duckling , he's/ she is so cute !! Thank you once again for sharing. I definitely know I can't do an incubator, I have no patience 😂😂😂😂
I’m crying and smiling. Loved the video….thanks for sharing, it was very educational.❤️❤️❤️
Love your video. Never had anything but chicken eggs. My Mother -in-law had a turkey hatch and she had a to big of water bowl and the turkey drowned. Have a good day with the chicks .
SO adorable!!! Awww..... thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Janice,such a wonderful video.Thank you for sharing.👋 KIDS ❤️
Janice thank you for sharing life on your busy homestead in the Spring.
I am so sorry for the babys that was lost and did not make it. I am praying that the other 5 will make it. Hello to the family hang in there i love you and your videos have been watching your family videos for over a year.
They grow so fast
Thank you I needed a relaxing video today! These hatching videos are awesome and educational ❤
I was glued to the screen watching that little late arriver make his way into the world. Nature is beautiful but it doesn't always turn out the way we expect it to. Thank you for sharing the sad parts too as it is important for children to learn about all aspects of life cycles, etc. Explaining it in a way they will understand for their age is key.
Wishing I could come and snuggle some little ducklings. They are so cute and funny too. Have a blessed week everyone 🙏❤️🐣🐤🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
Loved this my family never raised ducks so it was a real interesting video.
Awesome video!! Love the little ducks❤
Thank you Janice & Sarah & Abigail. What a wonderful video, I enjoyed every minute of it. The ducklings 🐥 are adorable. Love from B. C. Canada 🍁 🐣🐣🦆🦆
Abigail is so sweet & excited about everything on the farm!
Thanks for sharing with us.
This is Joanne from Ohio I enjoyed watching the ducks hatching 😊
last time you were up really late to watch the hatching i loved it hugsssss
Great video! Thank you for taking the time and going through the hassle of filming while you were so busy with the chicks. Really enjoyed it! Cheri
Fascinating to watch! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the turkey eggs next!
We hatched chickens, ducks, and other farm birds in a surplused baby incubator when I was a child. Such memories and great learning experiences! 😊
We had baby Mallards on the farm too. Rose
Runtly turned out so adorable! I am glad it made it and thanks to you all helping it. What a happy...kind of sad...video! Thanks so much. Biggest Hugs and Love. Susan from Michigan 😍😘🤗
So exciting! We never had ducks, just a lot of chickens!
I love ducks, I have too small of a yard to own any but I live by a park that has a lot of ducks. I love seeing how they care for their babies. I really enjoyed seeing the duck hatch in your video, it’s incredible. So amazing to think about how that happens in nature all the time.
This is Joanne I really enjoyed the chicken hatching
This brought back memories of when I was growing up and we would get a dozen hens eggs to hatch!
In those days it would take at least six months for them to get big enough to be dinner - you can get chicks now that are ready at twelve weeks, they hardly move around and just spend the day with their beaks in the food trough.
I'm sorry that some of your ducklings didn't survive, but happy that your last one survived despite it's struggles. Hopefully next year more babies will hatch.
Im definitely remembering the cup idea!!!! Boy i sure could have used that trick a few times ❤
Hi, how are you doing? God bless you all your wonderful program. I love it I live in Maryland Hagerstown nice meeting you Jesus loves you.
Bless this baby. It happens.
It's so amazing! TFS ❤️
So pre ious. I loved this Janice.
So sweet
I love this!!! I would have been a complete mess if I was in charge of the hatching. You guys did amazing!
Thank you! 😊I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
How sweet
Drama,drama,drama Duck Drama. Wow I'll bet you are relieved to have your Duck drama over and done with. So many losses but some pretty cute thriving ducklings. I've never known ducks to come Breach .That is very interesting. Or Chickens for that matter. You are a trouper for sure. I did enjoy your Videoing of your experience with your hatching out the Ducks. I think that your new Incubator is at fault for the loss of so many ducklings. I'm thinking that that Incubator does not read the Humidity properly. I've had experience in the past with low moisture in the Incubator causing the chicks not to be able to hatching out. Low moisture causes problems with Hatching. I would send that lousy Incubator back to where it came from. I do believe it is defective. Looking forward to your next Video of hatching out whatever you have in mind. God Bless You all.
That's a great idea for the water.
Love your videos
Sweet Babies 😊
I'm a new viewer hun and I absolutely enjoyed it and I learned a lot also thank you very much
That one in front trying to come out is camera shy I believe 😆
God's creation is amazing
❤
How sweet. I’m sorry about the loss of the others. I just started my own little chicken and duck family. I had 6 chickens and 2 ducks. However, a dog got and killed 4 of my chickens. I’m going to replace them if possible with larger chickens but the ducks are both good and the two remaining are doing great. I was devastated though that we lost 4. We are in town of a rural community so just for my husband and I the 6 chickens and two ducks are plenty and we have a huge fenced in yard. It’s just the dog getting into the duck and chicken pen that caused my Drama. I’m having to put the dog on a run when outdoors and the chickens and ducks are out in the fenced in yard. Learning how to protect them and meet their needs has been a bit of a learning curve. I have thoroughly enjoyed them. I wished though I would have known what I know now so I could have protected the other 4.
Sounds like that new incubator flubbed up. Hey at least you tried.
My youngest brother has a feed store where he had chickens ,ducks,rabbits many different plants an seeds. I've got to catch up with him I guess while he takes care of his horses ,cows, goats,an sheep. I think he would enjoy y'all channel.
Yes definitely 💯
So wonderful. But me not being educated on hatching eggs what does the X on the eggs mean. Thank you.
We always did that to keep
Up with the rotation of eggs while incubating.
You’re supposed to rotate the eggs like how the mom would do if she was there so the x on it so you can keep track if you rotated them all the same way.
Another thing i did was go to dollar tree n get the foan drawer liner n put in in n layed it in for the eggs to hatch on n help with sprayed leg this incubator is hard on the babies legs,i had so many sprayed legs till i used the foam.
❤I learned a lot ! How can anyone not believe there is a God? Thank you all for your dedication to these babies! ❤
How frustrating sorry the new incubator wasn’t working well and you had a poor hatch rate! I’m glad the little one is doing well and I hope it continues to do well! It’s so hard not to help them but they usually don’t do well! My mom was a preschool teacher so she used to hatch ducks and chicks 🐣! I did embryology with 4-H and that was lots of fun!
I hatched eggs in a small incubator like that for 40 years some advice I can give you is you need to rotate the eggs every couple of days outside eggs to the center and center to the outside edges there will be cooler spots inside there in corners mostly the hatch rate is effected by the first to hatch constantly rolling the unhitched eggs around I speak from experience I was fortunate to be able to buy a new cabinet incubator a few years ago it is amazing at the time I was hatching 1500-1750 quail a month
Yeah it shrink wrapped,it couldnt get out,that happens when you lift the lid n leave it open for a long time.n the shell sticks to them,ive done this myself,noone warned me years ago
Our dark duck eggs we can't see with using the flashlight either, we have to use our little machine to check
So sad though it is part of nature.
You were down to two eggs. The little one you put in the cup and another one that you could see was tiny in the egg. We watched the cup one hatch but what happened with the last underdeveloped one?
Poor little one.
WOW Janice, this is stressful. I would check to see if the temperature was consistent in the incubator. Even though it read 90 degrees, perhaps it was higher. IDK, but that’s what I would check first. Very odd indeed 💕🙏🙏
It is so much work for them to get out of the shell!! Don't feel bad Janice, it's a well known fact that animals produce more young then they expect to make it. That way they ensure survival even with the death rate. It happens and it's natural for it to happen, you didn't do anything wrong! It's like the duck or chicken you had that hatched somrthing like 13 eggs and you took several from her because you knew it would be too many for her to raise. She had more than she thought she could raise to ensure she had several survive, it's just nature! If you didn't take several of those chicks from her I am positive that several would have come up missing from predatation or sickness or her inability to make that many chicks thrive. There is a species of hawk or eagle or owl that LETS the dominate chick kill the others because the "parents" know they can only raise one chick to be strong enough to survive, it's harsh but it is survival of the fittest and it is natural! Sometimes you can help out and sometimes you can't change natural selection. If you incubate 1 dozen eggs and 3 fail, you don't feel too bad but if you incubated 5 dozen eggs and 15 fail, then you feel bad when the failure rate is the same!
very interesting with the yolk just not that strong i guess hugsssssss
I'm confused what happened to the egg with the star on it? Was this the little duggling?
Thank you for this beautiful video.
MORE UNBOXING NEEDED
How exhausting for you ! Thank you for showing us ( now [im]patiently hoping we see the turkey eggs hatching) so when the ducklings are big enough to go outside, will mother ducks take them on, or will the duckling be sufficiently mature to 'fend for themselves' ? Xx
I have four ducks. Two Rouen and two Cayuga. This is a new thing for me and am excited to someday grow my flock. Just curious if you supplement the food and water like I do. I've watched some videos and they suggest supplementing food with brewer's yeast and water with organic apple cider vinegar while they are young. Would love to see a video just about ducks and any tricks of the trade that you have. I took note of the bigger watering system because they are SO MESSY! Thanks!
Hello
Hello. Maby the eggchell are to tick. To mutch eggchell to eat. Ore they nead zelen. ❤❤ ore more water
I miss hatching eggs .my hope id I get to do again
Hi Janice...what happened with the last egg with the marking on it that was a week or more behind the others?
You had two eggs left. What happened to the other one? The one that you said didn't look as big as it should be when you did the candling?
Did that last one make it. The one that was far behind in growth.
What happened to the 2nd egg at the end
does the hatcher have a turner on it maybe it didnt work proper ?? hugsssss
I've never been so stressed!
What happened with the last egg with the under developed duck?
Blessings. Thank you all for sharing your lives. Have you selected a name for that littlest duckling 🐥?
It I rcall the order of the ones that were in this video to see the hatchigs, etc.
J= Janice
A=Abigail
R=Rebekah
S=Sarah
🎉Jars🎉
Excuse my typos
A=Andrew. Two "A's", then in JAARS 🐥
This is suddenly blocked in this and why'd you share it? But can you tell me something? How do you know if it's an egg? You can eat or If the egg has a Chicken in it
Do you ever intervene when a duckling or chick is struggling to get out of the shell
Those eggs will shrink wrap opening it😢 ive made this mistake on this exact incubator n killed my lil ducks.
We never had a duck that would sit on her eggs just chickens and she sat on 17 eggs at one time she got nasty
Think the poor hatching has anything to do with the new incubator?
So, Ducks take 28 DAYS, what # day is it today?, you did not say.
Not 'designed'. CREATED to be that way.
Designed by God….
@@strawberrysky21 'Design' does not belong to Humans & Animals. You were not 'Designed', you were CREATED. Neither are Ducks 'Designed. GOD CREATED Ducks. I admit there are other instances where GOD could 'Design. Not in this instance though.
@@josephinebcmpatrick9207 definition of design: “to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to plan”
I absolutely believe God did that. He designed the beautiful way that baby ducks are born among many other things. To me the word designed is synonymous with created and many people use them that way. If you don’t that’s fine but I don’t think you need to correct Janice, we know she believes God designed/created the hatching process.
@@strawberrysky21 GOD IS OUR CREATOR - NOT our 'Designer'. Holy Bible talks of CREATION, CREATOR. You might like word 'Design' but you are missing the WONDER OF CREATION BY Our CREATOR. Also, if I want to communicate with Janice, I am entitled to do that.
@@josephinebcmpatrick9207 “God’s design” or “designed by God” is a common phrase people use when talking about the awe and wonder if His creation. It’s just a different English word that can mean the same thing, it doesn’t change or threaten the meaning of who God is or the fact that He is Creator and created all living things. God’s creation is designed by God. If you don’t want to use the word design then don’t. But the word doesn’t harm anything nor is it incorrect. God created ducks, he designed their little beaks, shells, yolks, the process by which ducks are born. It’s all full of wonder and it’s absolutely beautiful to see.
hey Janice and Abigail
I would keep the smaller ones in a smaller cage . Ducks can be very mean and even kill other ducks. They are so cute
You should not open an incubator once hatching has begun. You sadly shrink wrapped the eggs which is why they were having such a difficult time
You may have had a better hatching rate if you didn't open the incubator so often, you messed with the humidity and the poor babies membrane got too dry, can't believe you didn't know that being homesteaders and all.
