Fancy Chicken Raises Little Duckling 

baby duck: quacks hen: he's just clucking in spanish or somethin.

Mother nature: looks like this egg is gonna die This man: no

Proud Mother hen - "Yes he is my eldest and he is an excellent swimmer"

She proves that being a mom isn't about the color of your feathers, or the sound of your quack. It's about the love you teach, & the warmth you share

“Mamma chick is doing a great job” Mamma chick: *aggressively attacks plant*

Chicken: Hello child! Duck: *am i adopted.*

My mother raised rare breeds of birds as a hobby for 40hrs. For many years she had a favorite silky hen that she named ‘little mama’ Who sat on and raised hundreds of birds for her- from ducks to turkeys and many rare breeds of chickens. She was an amazing and loving mother hen.

I am always touched by seeing the gentle, thoughtful care for the tiniest new birds here. I would not have known to dampen the shell to help this chick survive. Everyone needs encouragement and to know they are not alone. You can see in that newborn chick’s eyes that his first experience outside the egg was that he felt safe and warm and cared for.

"every hen is meant to be a mother" My hens: *lay an egg and walk away*

I love that the duck has become her deadbeat adult son who refuses to move out.

Silkies are sweet, gentle chickens, that make wonderful mothers. Thank you for giving this sweet girl the gift of motherhood. You gave her fertile eggs, she gave them life. Never think "it's only a chicken". They love their babies & are so happy to do what all mother's do; nurture new life. I so loved this 🐔🐣🐤

The Duck is a wood duck. I have plenty but, they are wild and nest by my pond. I have 1 broody Hen Chicken (Rhode Island Red), and 1 broody Hen Turkey. They sit on chicken eggs, goose eggs, duck eggs, turkey eggs. Any eggs. When they hatch, it could be anything in the nest. They even sit on each others nests. They dont mind at all. They are proud of their babies, even the ones that dont look like them. 😁👍🏻

I love that she just looks at the duck and goes "my son" and acts like everything's normal

The Silkie is like: How dare you you touch my nest.. oh? Oh wait? There are more eggs now. EGGS. MUST. SIT.

The duck is a wood duck, native to the Southern US and the chick's remind me of pheasants I've seen in Fla when I lived there. They're usually in packs. They remind me of a cross between a chicken and a turkey. Also they're pretty funny to watch! Really not sure what they are but that's the closest to what they looked like to me from what I can tell.

Before I stumbled across this video I thought chickens where just livestock, and I didn't much concern myself with them. But when I saw this I was awestruck with how caring they can be, and it set me down a rabbit hole learning all I could about them. I now have a flock of six hens, one of which is a fluffy little white silkie.

Everyone: thers no hope now... This guy: hold my incubator

The second time he’s taking her unfertilized eggs to give her viable ones, she doesn’t peck him or fight at all 🥺 I think she remembers him giving her the eggs that her son hatched from

Hi again, I just noticed I had commented twice, a year ago and two years ago, funny I can enjoy the same video so many times they're so heart warming, and alway's lift my spirit, thank you for sharing,❤

Aw when the chick was snug in the mother's fluff ☺️ that was so cute 🥰 🥺

"He didn't know which eggs they were." Me- what if one of em was a lizard egg?

The duck is one I haven't seen in a domesticated setting before. It's a Wood Duck native to America. You're lucky!

I love how you can just shove a bunch of random eggs under pretty much any kind of bird and they‘ll just be like: „Huh, weird thing, but keepers finders. I‘m your mother now!“ Like it doesn‘t even matter to them if it‘s much bigger than their own.

i just realized that little chicks start peeping before they’re born. this is a beautiful video. duckie is still attached to his mum. sigh! beautiful. . . 🐓🐣🦆🌷🌱

Duck: *Grows bigger* Hen: W-what did i feed my baby???

This man's life is every disney character's when they start singing a song. The duck is beatiful btw.

It is very heartwarming to see such a warm tender caring man taking such wonderful care of tiny little lives. I wish there were more men like you in the world.

Making the hen happy, helping the baby hatch, you are a wonderful person. This warmed my heart.

adoption center: how many eggs do you want to hatch? Silkies: *Yes*

Death: you can’t save them all Him: _IS THAT A CHALLENGE?_

I love how she plucked the hay hanging from its beak.❤

One of my silkie hens, Chickarella, steals everyone's eggs in the coop then sits on them. She had 20 eggs one time! Hatched them all. She will flog you in a heartbeat if she even sees you eyeballing her babies.

Chicken: “his looks come from his fathers side”

I had a chicken that raised some baby ducklings... Much to her horror when they jumped in the pond, as ducks do, and she half swam half flew across the pond to stay with them.

When he gives them warmth with his breath, it’s like he’s breathing life into them. I never knew how hard it was for a chick to hatch. it’s a wonder any of them make it.

Thank you Alvin. You make me so happy. It brings tears to my eyes, every time I watch you tenderly and lovingly assist, with a difficult birth. Thank you, for all that you do. I hope to become a Patreon member, in the near future 😍🐥🐓🦆

People makes horrible bird farms This guy: literally raises every chick and animal with passion love and care

Hen be like "who's eggs are those?" 2 seconds later "MINE!!!"

That sure brought back memories! My grandma gave me my first job on the farm, gathering eggs from the henhouse. She gave me my basket and told me to gather as many as I could find. It took me awhile but when I went back to the kitchen I said "Well Grandma, it was quite a fight! But I got them! Here!" She looked at all the peck marks on my hands and arms and said "OH NO! You got my setting hens!" (come to find out, she didn't think I was tall enough to get up to those chickens on the "upper floors" of the henhouse but I did! I wanted to do a good job) I had no idea what that meant, setting hens. this was over 65 years ago, but I do remember fighting those mama chickens! Grandam was able to figure out which eggs were which and put them back, then showed me later what setting hens meant, even letting me hold the baby chickens. Well, I learned a tough life lesson, that some chicken moms really fight for their babies. Growing up on my grandparents farm was amazing, it was like stepping back in time. No running water, no electricity, everything was from the farm, milk, butter, eggs, vegetables and of course meat which was the hardest thing to learn about. So different from today, sometimes I think it might be a good lesson for kids to work on a farm for awhile, you would definitely never hear them say "I'm bored!"

🌹🌹🌹 Just before today I used to be afraid of chickens for most of my life due to their appearance. It repelled me. But now after watching a few videos of how little chicks are treated with love and care and raised healthily by some divine human beings, my previous phobia is gone!! It’s the love that is contagious and opens the heart to accept!

I love how the duck stayed by his mom's side and watched over his little siblings

Hen : !hey please don't take my eggs Man: *proceed to put eggs in a better spot* Man: *then puts hen in a better spot* Hen: understandable have a good day

Such a sweet story!! I love the way the eldest sibling, the duck, is still a member of the family.

I just wanted to say that I learned a lot from your videos, and it really helped when we rescued abandoned duck eggs earlier this year. Five of them ended up hatching, and unfortunately one of the babies didn't make it, but the remaining four grew up strong and healthy. Thank you for all you do and for everything your stories have taught me.

"Timothy, it's time to get out of bed and see the world!" "JUST FIVE MORE MINUTES, MOM!" ... "MAMA HAAAAALP!" "You let the membrane dry, didn't you?"

3:45 awwww the moment she cleaned the duckling's beak by plucking away that small piece of hay is amazing. Just like a mother of any kind would!!! My heart 😊

This was such a beautiful video. I loved it. Thank you for making the momma bird a true momma. 🦤❤️

I have my iPad wet from tears, this is such a lovely story…you got me warming that little baby in his egg 💕🌸💕

The duck looks like a wood duck. They aren't usually pets. But this one is now

The duck is a wood duck and the chicks are guinea fowl keets.

Mama raising a duck is amazing enough, but what melts me with joy is that the chick survived!!

That's the most adorable thing I've ever seen! 😍

Silky: "weird baby, but that'll do" By the way, the duck seems to be a Mallard variant

"Our Big Bro looks a bit weird, but he is awesome!"

Outstanding. You helping her be a mom. You helped the one hatch. How sweet. I love animals so this is very touching..

I can relate. 😅 Hens like Silkie variety shows love and support to the eggs regardless of size, breed or what. You see, I was wondering how this hen turns to be a momma to all of the chicks in variety. Such a great calling as a mom. ❤❤❤

This just proves that that story about the ugly duckling wouldn’t happen.

Video - "One of the eggs was behind" Subscribers - "Here we go again"

I love the most these long films in which you show how much effort you do to help, how patience and secure. Thank you for that💖

Thank you for sharing this loving story.

"He ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if he did, I'd feel the same.." Lines in action.. 🥺🥺

She didn’t seem to peck at his hand the second go around. It is if she had learned that he was there to help give her eggs to lay. Team work makes the dream work!

Bless your heart ❤ your patience, kindness and love for animals.

She is a beautiful hen and I love her personality. The way she looked after that little duck with such care and interest is so sweet.. Thank you soo much for letting her be a mother. And it seems she loved being one. Hope you give her more babies to look after. Be happy, little Silkie :) 🕊️🦢🐔🦆🌷🌱

I like that the second time you gave her eggs she just begrudgingly squeaked. "For some reason they only hatch when you touch em. Please don't. Please don't touch me. But give me egg. No, stop touchie. I want them to hatch. Stop."

The duck is definitely an American Wood Duck, it’s still kinda hard to tell with the chicks though, they almost look like Guinea/Chickens

Baby "chicken": *quacks* Mum Hen: He's got a bit of a speech impediment, but I love him anyway!

Just precious!

That second batch of chicks aren’t chickens either, those a guinea keets.

the type of duck: handsom the type of chicks: adorable

I think the older brother is a Mallard. And yes, all of the babies are beautiful and Momma is an excellent mother. It was really enjoyable watching this video and I will look forward to seeing many more. 🦆🐣🐔

When my children were small we bought them 2 silkies. Like you say, they can be very broody. They got too much for our backyard and we gave them away to our Zoo where other farm animals were held for children to see. Good memories as I am old now (76yrs). Thank you for your nice video. I really enjoyed it. I am from Pretoria, Capital City of South Africa.

The chicken is a better mother than I would be when I'm older

Did anyone else’s heart melt watching a grown man struggle to free a chick from his egg?

This is one of the most amazing animal videos I have ever seen. Blessings to the mama chicken, the duckling, the chicks & the man who worked a miracle to let these little critters survive.

My little Japanese bantam raised a giant olive egger baby this spring. Its so sweet how the little chickens are so maternal. I had 2 bantam mix hens raise 1 chick, this spring, as well!!

Chick: My father was a giant featherless creature! Other chicks at school: WHAT IS GOIN ON HERE?

I love how at 3:45, the hen got rid of that little piece of hay that was clinging to his beak! That was so adorable! Every mom does that!!

What a beautiful feathered family you have there. And, they are cared for with so much love. 🐔🦆🐣❤

Beautiful Family ❤✝️🙏🏼🕊🫶🏻

Him: Puts eggs in her nest Her: Well I guess these are mine now

4 years ago : "Can a chicken raise a duck?" 2020 :'"Chicken raises duck" 2024 : "Can a duck raise a chicken?" Edit : Thanks for the likes!

This is a very heartwarming story. I've fallen in love with her and her duckling incognito. ADDENDUM : You mmm have given birth !

I'm impressed she took the egg back. I've helped a few chickens in the past that needed an extra hand, but mama chook never seemed to want them back so I ended up raising them instead. You have a lovely mother there.

My grandma is giving chickens duck eggs all the time when she dont have any adult ducks. Her chicken was even raising goose one time

This is beautiful. What a good mum. She didn't care that some were different to others. No ugly ducklings here.

Hi there! I'm a new subscriber and now, I love your videos! Thank you for taking care of the ducks and doing your very best.

I love your big Heart.❤️ for all these cuties. Thanks for caring 😊

That duck's girlfriend is going to have questions when she meets his mom and siblings. Also, cute video. :)

It always amazes me how one little bird grows perfectly inside that much space in an egg shell. Thanks for helping that little one get out!! I'm always in awe of the work you do!

Gret job Sir. I always wait for the momment when you give warmth to the chicks with your breath.😍🙏

She is divine with her gorgeous babies 💜

This man is always entertaining me with his disney skills and his bird

The hen looks like she’s going to slap and sass everyone she sees XD

Recognized that beautiful duck when saw his head. Gorgeous! Love Wood Ducks

Simply amazing and beautiful ... and thank you for the tips on how to help with a difficult eggnancy birth !!

“I dunno where u came from but imma keep u and raise u like my children anyways”

It warms my heart seeing a grown adult man sitting over a baby bird egg and doing everything in his power to make sure it is fine

what a gorgeous mamma & her babies are so tiny but very cute - how lovely. Animal life form in so many different shapes n colours DELIGHTFUL INDEED.

Loved your video. Have illegally raised chickens in my city, unfortunately, the last of my four passed, but the six years they brought such joy. Hope to bring that happiness back this spring. So great that people open up to all life, thank you for bringing a smile and tear today.
