Folks want to know what happened to Ron Swanson, the duck who thought she was a goose. Once she grew, did she continue to think she was a goose?

About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

[@Christommyfmx]

Seeing the little wild baby gosling running around outside that's being raised by the mother goose is just too cute!

[@uditabhattacharya2824]

I have a theory as to why Toby dog only shares his food with Pablo barn cat. Both of them are working animals on the farm, Toby protects the livestock from predators and Pablo keeps away the rodents. Toby recognizes this and respects Pablo like a colleague - almost like a pecking order between them and other farm animals

[@KatMer6361]

I put rocks in my backyard water bowl for the wildlife, so bees do not get stuck if they are thirsty. 💞

[@miric6224]

Aren’t you happy you left city life to be Morgan the story telling farmer? I get happy hearing about your adventures. BTW, my favorite chickens are fuzzy feet. Over ‘n’ Out.

[@GoldShawFarm]

I am very happy!

[@BouncingTribbles]

Those runner ducks look so funny standing up like that, I can't wait until they can join the flock. I love watching all the different birds interacting

[@caseyleichter2309]

Re the Parks & Recreation Gang: "Bros before Hos, Baby!" I don't know much (anything) about how birds decide their social priorities, but my bet is that breeding overrules everything *during the breeding season* only. After the hormonal storm dissipates, they're free to resume previously established social groupings. Now, if any of them were brooding, that might turn out differently - if they actually raised any babies. Not sure, though, and it would be interesting to see what happens if that ever happens.

[@uncleardistress]

Morgan your channel has been HUGE for us. We have learned so much from watching your videos. From incubating, hatching, brooding, and everyday care, to how to build a coop and everything in between. Thank you so much for all your hard work, not only on the farm but in the way you edit your videos. You are very knowledgeable, honest, and genuine. You and a few others, have inspired us to try our hand in raising ducks and chickens of our own and for that we would like to again thank you for all your time and hard work to make all your videos. Cheers

Next at goldshaw, a duckling raised by Molly thinking she's a barn 🐈

[@Magesteff]

😸😸😹 Are you my mother?!?

[@davidferguson8183]

No joke that actually happened to a farm in my area where 3 ducklings hatched out and roamed around the barn and the farmers couldn't find them and feared the barn cat ate them but the found their barn cat with 3 newbie kittens and the 3 ducklings it was the cats maternal instinct that made her adopt them the ducklings even drank her milk

[@lestki]

So love your videos. I don't have a farm, never had one and too old now to start. So am living vicariously through you. Keep em comin.

[@trathbone]

You should name the gosling that got beat up “Rocky”. He got beat up pretty good in that first round.

[@jpbaley2016]

Regarding the comment you hearted; cats do NOT have weak necks. Unlike dogs, cat routinely go thru areas that are the just the width of their whiskers, which increase the potential they can get a collar stuck on something and end up strangling themselves as they struggle to free themselves. That’s why cat collars have a break-away option. Leaving a cat to run loose with a halter can get them hung up on something with disastrous results. Always monitor cats wearing halters.

[@sirepanfried8641]

This was new information to me so thank you

[@andrescarmona1520]

The one that got attacked by momma goose is getting ready for revenge

Aww you warmed my emotional city slicker side. LOL! As a former city slicker now a farm girl you totally made me crack up… and then heart warmed… i love the friendships my chickens make with each other. They are super fascinating.

[@chompygator3083]

It's hard to believe Ron Swanson has only been in the farm for a year! She feels like an OG farm personality. I'm super excited to meet the new duck and geese and see if any personalities stand out. Happy chicken duck goose ing!

[@dominiquehebert4903]

Oh Toby, walking right in the runner duckling door. Do you want to go ducklings? Ignore the giant white monster that is in the way!

Take Toby into barn with you, so the new cats are on their turf when they meet him.

[@rivitraven]

You could get one of those storage containers that cost like 4$ at Home Depot and create and entrance hole and put it over her nest. That should offer her some protection from aerial attacks and let her be less stressed about being exposed.

Looks like with the 3 new chicks the weird chickens are going to need a larger run soon.

Maybe give your remote duck food nearby so she doesn't have to be away from her clutch so long. Aeral predators could make quick work of exposed eggs.

I love this video. I have been wondering about Ron Swanson and the gang. That is definitely a team.

I just love how good you are to your animals! You don't scrimp on the grains or feed. I find that a few homesteaders are very frugal with the feed. Even though they "free range" they still need nutrients from the feed.

[@pamelaremme38]

Also....you don't rush putting them out to pasture. A few also put them out after only two weeks when temps are way too cold.

[@tarryncooper4742]

This was a great video! One of the best ones in a long while! Taking it slower with the kitty is very needed. She looked scared out of her mind with Toby, the first experienced looked quite negative for her. Maybe just walking around the barn first.
