This channel has the most wholesome comment section on KZbin and I absolutely love it. It's such a nice break from all the usual drama and toxicity. Really appreciate what you're doing Daniel.

[@Alpinewild444]

Negev i completely agree ☺️

[@margietucker1719]

@@geraldinemcgowan905 Sounds like you're on the wrong channel. We're here for Daniel and the ducks.

[@Saturn-uz6jc]

@@geraldinemcgowan905 Uhhh, okay? Why are you ruining the wholesomeness?

[@GardensforLife]

Agreed and lots of great homesteading and gardening information on Daniels channel too!

[@billybobcats5139]

What he has failed to mention is that these ducks are absolutely delicious. Nugget would be my first choice

[@HelvecioGomes]

I used to have two ducks when I was very young. Loved them. I used to come home from school then open my arms so they run to me and I could hug them. I will never forget their smell. Great video.

[@Gabriela_Tyler]

I have two ducks, they turned 15 on July 1, I kiss them every day, I love their smell.

[@angelakilroe8784]

Absolutely hilarious, those slugs must have been a bit salty. Loved it.

[@carolwildey4897]

DITTO! you should be very proud for providing such a healthy and fun home for your critters!!!

[@sara.r304]

the duckies head banging in the pond was my fave bit :-)

[@firstsecond3126]

Funny how they repeat each other's moves in the water just like a synchronized swimming team

[@breeze8065]

Hi Mossy Bottom. I have been watching your videos of late. Discovered your channel last month. You are a good role model for younger people encouraging simplicity, caring and interacting with nature and animals. Get tranquility just watching your videos. You seem a decent, honourable and kindhearted person to say the least. Keep uploading and love you from Africa. Stay strong. Peace.

[@victortarroni]

Honestly, you are the only person in the world who can make me watch 13 min of duck video and still be thrill about it! Thank for sharing your talent with us! your videos are very endearing!

[@hannahharrelson5703]

I don't care how amateur the footage is, I always want to see animals 😆 Looks like you're all having a great time!

[@cindybrenard7122]

I love how the one duck washed his slugs!! I am in love with these beauties! Thank you so much for sharing your video ❤️

[@JKMA818]

They really are having a good life. Have a great day from Knoxville TN USA

[@andymadrid5626]

I was just thinking, "how is mossy bottom doing?" Your videos really hit a human note that rings in my Heart. There are other Homestead channels but yours is just so inline with my feelings and values that it's like a personal relationship. Please keep making videos for us followers!

[@davidevans3175]

Greetings from California. I'm really here to hear you say "mossy bottom".

[@keen2461]

I'm a city guy, but I love to observe animals behavior. It's hypnotic, funny and relaxing. There is so much to learn from all the creatures around us, but with a human sense of superiority, we never pay attention and miss this wonderful learning experience. Your cute ducks look as happy as Mossy, That's awesome. That's for sharing.

[@mrslandanna]

For cuteness sake, how lovely they are .. :-)

[@beverlyjames2850]

Great footage. Made me laugh out loud. Darling ducks!

[@michellerene9678]

Indian Runners are one of my favorite animals on the planet. Great music choice! Thanks for bringing a big smile to my face. I think I will save this one to my favorites to cheer me up the next time I’m feeling down. The head banging metal water ballet is priceless! 😂😂😂

[@Mosfet510]

It looked like they were dancing to the music at the beginning. Cute video, they're doing well. All the best to you and the critters!

[@arcaneknight9799]

I love ducks, but I'm in it for your philosophy on life and sense of fulfillment.

[@natty_b]

They’re so cute. This was quite relaxing to watch

[@tillysanders2593]

Waking up a million miles away in the madness of a huge bustling cosmoplitan city in North Ammerica ( Toronto ) -- watching your wonderful, beautiful ducks with a big smile on my face .. Thank you Mossy Bottom !

[@twyla2575]

They are adorable. I love the ducky stomp!!!

[@anniedavis4569]

This is just fabulous watching the ducks swimming eating and waddling around all together. Love the music too

[@matthewcunningham2399]

They say, "if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a duck". 😆 Great video, thanks

[@mattneville9814]

Wow-you caught them “going crazy”! They all catch the same groove and all go ballistic. I wish us humans did that.

[@luminyam6145]

That little Nugget is so adorable and feisty. I love the ducks.

[@soepsoep6445]

This is the type of content I want and need

[@limorwolf8048]

Awesome and humorous. What a lovely companions (now depicted by me as 'the band'). I smiled at the 'drink and swim' type of deal they made with their water- utilizing whatever they can and generally seeing Maximus, Darcey and Nugget making waves ;-) great editing. Thank you for your lovely sensitivity, humor and connection!

[@Rachael-Victora-from-Bywater]

Your ducks are awesome! Ducks are my favorite farm animal, they have such personality.

[@olivefarmer3491]

Who needs slug pellets? What lovely creatures. We used to keep an Aylesbury with our chickens. "Esme". What a joy she was. In the end we found her a mate.....Thanks for sharing.

[@ldg2655]

Cute! I am glad that you get such pleasure out of your animals...

[@vickywright9497]

Thanks for sharing! So enjoyable to watch...

[@Kathy_Is_Blessed]

👏👏👏👏👏🤣😂🤣 SOO adorable! Where have ducks been all my life?! Oh my goodness…that’s the funniest video I’ve seen in ages. Thanks so much for sharing these sweet duckies. ☘️♥️ They are quite the dancers, also.

[@nicolaray2816]

The ducks look like they're having a good life!

[@abbeyhyde6406]

The ducks are lovely creatures and it is great that you have a pond on your land for them.

[@clangerbasher]

I have a little tale to tell. I happen to tell my mother about your Indian duck video, the one where they are grown and you have one sitting on your knee, on the day it was released. My mother said, and this is purely coincidental, that my sister was having some Runners. My sister for various reasons couldn't keep them so they came to live with me on the floor of my well sized aviary. They hatched at the end of May. I am now able to pick them up and feed them by hand. Just as you said once past duckling phase they become like dogs. I have two drakes. At the moment they only have a paddling pool to swim / bath in; water changed every morning, 10 buckets out, 10 buckets in! We are having a new garden wall next spring, this was already in the planning stage, and the ducks are getting their own 'plumbed in pond' as part of the project. I just found it amusing that I saw your video one day with no plans to get any of my own and then within the space of a week I had two of my own. All the best.

[@feeonaghchambers1540]

I was grossed out, yet amused at seeing your ducks eat up that bucket of slugs!! Haha! Love them!

[@dariasima2193]

I love it how open minded and not blinded by society you are !

[@margietucker1719]

This video brought many smiles and laughter, as I shared it with some of my coworkers. You brightened our day!

[@taraann7753]

A little dance to start off before their feast, what a great life you are giving them..Great entertaining video.. Thank you.

[@dottiegnyc1]

Yum Slugs!!! They are lovely little ducks love their water dance!

[@paulinemckelvey9001]

Cutest video ever! Laughed and laughed. You collect their slugs for them? Such devotion.

[@AlexaMGilbert]

When I first saw your video about your Indian Runner ducks, I was transformed. My three are Huey, Duey and Louie (gender as yet undetermined). I raised them indoors (yes they are messy, and quick) until the weather warmed up. They have been living in one of my greenhouses until my friend builds their permanent home which is based on your design. Thank you! I have six chickens but I have to say the ducks are my favorite. They do not destroy the garden like the chickens do. Blessings and thank you. I really appreciated this cute video. P.S. I have purchased vegetables from the farm where you apprenticed, about 5 miles from my homestead.

[@KJensenStudio]

Maximus, Darcy and Nugget are my new superheros, with you, Mr. Mossybottom pulling up the rear, as it were. Runner ducks all day, every day: Yes! Be the runner duck you want to see in the world!

[@Dakota77d]

Absolutely adorable -life is good on mossy bottom. Thank you for sharing

[@InspiredJJ]

Great job my friend, I needed that!

[@shonaquaid1611]

This is hilarious. I didn't think Moss could be upstaged 😄

[@kathleenfredrickson8593]

I loved the video and the way you synchronized the music with the duck movements.

[@debswan5750]

😄

[@carolking6355]

That was so delightful. The music so apt. Fun to watch. Ducks can be so intelligent. I had some once .i would feed them each morning. They would be standing on the grass waiting. If I was a bit late, Brownie would hop onto the terrace and tap his beak on the glass door to wake me. I have heaps of good memories about my ducks. Yours are very beautiful.

[@fabiang38]

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius.... and I will have my slugs!!!

[@paisley293]

"... in various states of duckiness..." LOL that was too cute! I played this video at 1.75 speed and they are hilarious!!

[@sandyp9891]

NICE! Every morning I choose a video to watch while I eat my breakfast and this one has been one of the best breakfast videos ever. :)

[@eileen945]

Hi, so nice to see you. Well... be still my ❤️ how sweet. I adore so many animals and these guys have a great life. They do seem happy and thriving. I could sit and watch them for hours. Thanks for sharing your life. ❤️

[@rbutterworth123]

I love the constant running commentary that ducks give us. We had some of a farm I volunteered on and I swear they were just saying "I'm here, where are you? I'm here, where are you?" AAALL the time!

[@stellanevis3107]

07:15 is like a fairytale! 🧚‍♀️✨Thanks, Daniel.

[@hS-nt6pr]

Greta video! My one year old son loved dancing to the music.

They have gotten big and Beautiful!!😊

[@Smellycat1990]

Cute. I felt sorry for the slugs but I guess they cant stay at Mossy Bottom + there's no better use of them than as a treat for this trio!

[@karenrouth2056]

You must have had SO much fun making this... love it! I noticed the white duck has the typical male tail curl feather too! Underwater was fun and different lol! Thank you Daniel... looking forward to the next video!

[@jaynemar1]

LOVE the dancing ducklings!

[@henriettahenson]

I love Everything duckiness 🦆🦆🦆... Very entertaining.... We had a smallholding when I was growing up... We had two pet ducks Donald (very original) @Bernard.... One day, one of them broke his leg my Dad put a wooden splint on his leg this duck walked round like that for weeks eventually when we took the splint off... his leg had heald so... there you go if anything should happen... know that you can doctor them with primative means..... I wish you a lot of luck with your life l think you are amazing and I love listening to you 💕

[@ffaf0]

That was a pleasant surprise! The ‘metal-ish’ music certainly didn’t prepare me for what was about to happen. That was violent af. 10/10 little ducklings, 10/10.

[@2listen2u]

Haha, this was brilliant, well done. Well done

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Smiled and giggled all the way through that🥰😁🥳. Thanks xxx

Haha love the music of the second part of ducks dancing ha ha love it.

[@mulberryjohn7413]

You were right , the music is awfully cheesy-But how wonderful to see these 3 grow up and be part of your Family. Thanks for sharing elements of life at Mossy Bottom. You inspire me to take chances and to be more goal driven.

[@sixmagpies]

In Wexford, I've been planting some hybrid poplars, supposedly the fastest growing on the planet. Pencil thin 2" cuttings have now gone to 14' good solid trees in just 18months. I'd be very happy to send you some cuttings if you'd like. PS.. You definitely got life sorted. Bravo.

I went to a vineyard that uses these runner ducks as natural pest control. The also do something called the duck run or parade! I vlogged it because it is a truly unique experience. I loved watching this. I love all sorts of animals

You are achieving your dreams and sharing them with us. Thank You.

[@smileytow1925]

❤️💕 love your duck video! ( all your videos are great!) when they were eating the slugs it made me happy! I used to go out in the front yard in my bathrobe looking under rocks etc. for slugs to feed our box turtle. To me I didn’t need any slug killer I had a turtle that was very happy to keep the slugs from eating my plants! As your ducks were so happy with the fresh slug treat! ❤️

[@mattneville9814]

Love your Indian Runners! I think some of the wild Mallards at our condo have interbred with Indian Runners judging from their tall upright stance-but have retained the ability to fly. Lovable creatures.
