I'm just a middle-aged punk loser who has lost his job, his wife, and most of his friends to PTSD, but I discovered this channel about a week ago and Morgan, Alison, Toby, Pedro, Justin, Ron, and the rest of the crew have already given me so many little moments of happiness (and have inspired me to try to up my editing game on my own KZbin channel)! Thanks for everything, Gold Shaw Farm!

Hang in there. Consider MDMA therapy if you're not on antidepressants. You are worth it, and needed. Permaculture farming is therapy in itself. These videos make me want to get a farm.

Another series is the long time Brit show "Time Team ". It's a show about archeology but it's the gentle banter and friendly ribbing is very settling.

[@chadnorris8257]

Kind of nice seeing a scythe being used as an actual farming tool, and not some unconventional death related weapon in an anime.

[@RoseThistleArtworks]

That was some sweet scythe action!!!

[@DeltafangEX]

I mean, the scythe part of the personification of Death is usually just a metaphor where it originated, is it not? A scythe being a combat weapon isn't any inherently less realistic than our anthropomorphization of concepts that can't really be such.

[@radix4400]

Yeah. The harvest of souls. Of course lots of farm implements became improvised weapons.

[@kiroropupper3914]

@@radix4400 japanese ninja are probably the most famous for using farm tools as weapons. The small arrow shaped knife, called a kunai, was a trowel. The short swords ninja are often depicted as having are actually sickles for harvesting buckwheat and rice. Specialized weapons are expensive so being able to use a sharped farmers tool is cost effective.

[@DeltafangEX]

@@radix4400 I think the irony probably lies somewhere around the fact that any weapon is deadly in Death's hands. Harvesting souls (probably coupled with separating the wheat from the chaff) is just the metaphor that was chosen by our ancestors.

[@XWNORST]

Man those terrified bird screams make me wish that all farms were like yours, where the farmer actually cares about the birds instead of the bottom line. I'm so glad you treat your birds with respect and let them keep their little posse instead of seperating them

[@WobblesandBean]

That's why I try to buy all my meat, eggs, and milk from farmer's markets, cuz the small ones tend to be more like this guy. It's the factory farms that are evil. They subcontract out livestock to these smaller farms that are forced into contacts that fuck them over, but they have no choice, cuz if they don't sign, the corporation will destroy them. They don't even own the cows and chickens on their farms, they're the property of the corporation, so they dictate how they're treated, which is ghoulish. So, ALWAYS support small, no-contract farms! They need all the money they can get!

[@prettybirdthepetgoosefrien8155]

I have a PET GOOSE named Pretty Bird and From my knowledge, the geese have imprinted on Ron Swanson and that imprint lasts for life. Think of the guard geese that are raised with chickens or ducks. Those geese will likely protect that ducky with their lives ! It'll be the best protected duck on the farm lol.

[@Nirrrina]

I kind of thought it was something like that. A lot of the times you see them she's right in the center of the group. The most protected spot. I kind of wonder if she will ever find a mate & have little ducklings of her own. I'd certainly be curious to see how her little flock would treat them.

[@prettybirdthepetgoosefrien8155]

@@Nirrrina if she does accept a drake to mate her, her offspring would likely, again, be treated as a part of the flock. The issue isn't as much if they'll let her mate with a drake but rather if shell let a drake mate her since she thinks shes a goose... Unless the geese think their ducks lol. The biggest issue i see is the geese trying to mate with the duck and potentially injuring her in the process... That does happen. But this guy is so involved with his animals, that im not really concerned.

[@EdgelordOfEdginess]

[@aviendha1154]

@Lbot beenthere she is going to be severely harrassed by any drake as well. It's kind of a disaster to have a duck raised away from other ducks.

[@SadisticSenpai61]

She'll be perfectly happy with the geese. The only downside is that all of her eggs will be infertile. So if they want to breed Ron Swanson, that'll be a problem.

[@xquetzalo]

I love the awkward fuzz/feathers phase the goslings are in. Looks like they have little angel wings lol.

[@death13a]

Keep goslings with ducks. Geese are very protective of their flocks (whatever their flocks contain humans, ducks, dogs or geese). So introduce geese to ducks early so they get imprinted on them. Also you might cuddle goslings more so they get used to humans(pros and cons to that).

When I was a kid we had chickens, 2 ducks and 2 geese all cooped in a 10x10 metal shed. There was a small pump house in the yard that the ducks laid in and hatched (we didn’t know until they hatched). The geese laid and hatched a nest under the roosts in the shed. There was no issues with aggression with any of them. I think it is just a matter of co-habitation. Just my novice opinion. Thanks for the video. .
