a couple random questions and thanks for hosting this and making the video again.

-where is the male during this process?
-does male have to 'accept' the chicks in order for them to survive?

-Do they hang out at your pond for a while or do they disappear?
-I guess they can't fly so do they walk out into the woods? or do the little ducks eat out of the pond like mallards do for a while?
