The Simple Life of a Duck Farmer

[@CoffeeJip153]

Can we just appreciate the fact that he knows every bird there and gives them golden names

[@leagueaddict8357]

because he wants his birds to be happy which is admirable but not everyone could live a happy life owning a farm or bird farm.

[@_AriseChicken]

Hes only named like 10 of the 50 something birds he has, most of the ducks and geese are un named.

[@II__argo__II]

yes, what hingle said. Generally if they're named, it's safe to assume they're part of Morgan's permanent/breeding flock.

[@rodisham]

@league addict farming isn’t for everyone. You have to love it and it demands your entire soul.

[@arthas640]

I hope if he ever gets another dog that he calls it Tobling (like Gosling but for Toby)

[@UnreliableAdvice4all]

I really respect that this guy has a patreon that he never promotes or mentions in his videos, just leaves a link in the description. Just subscribed to it to support all the work he puts into his videos and farm

[@sanddry738]

Oh boy that post office sign was not something I was expecting. What a cool thing to catch while editing!

[@Oxnate]

Yes! I want an update on that now!

[@jillianstolling2602]

Me, sitting here expecting 75 degree weather for the day, wondering when we should put our chicks out on the grass and stops because, "Oh, there's a new Gold Shaw video!" Sees the snow and sadly laments that some people still get to have winter. Good luck with your hatching, because it totally is an art. Thanks for the break and the smiles your videos almost always bring.

[@karenjo6963]

How nice are those chicken aprons, just in time for a colorful Easter.

[@TheMotlias]

I always find it amusing that London is further north than Vermont, but because we're on an island tomorrow will be 23c and the farm is still snow covered.

[@alp5260]

Chicken apron moment was so cool, and there were so many. Thank you Sheila from Louisiana you're the best. Thanks to you, hopefully we will see some spring chicken fashion videos soon at the Gold Shaw Farm 🤣🤣🤣.

[@tommielourogers4327]

The moment I saw the colorful chicken saddles, I started to laugh out loud. Because in my mind I was seeing a the snow covered ground being trampled by a flock of chickens dressed like old men in Hawaiian shirts. I just couldn’t stop laughing and the mental image won’t go away. I can’t wait to see the video. (And yes! I am planning to send it to all of my old male friends who collect Hawaiian shirts. It would be even funnier if the waddling ducks were wearing them. Then they would really look like my friends.) 🤣😂😎

Getting so close to pond play time for the flocks!!!! Awesome that it has h2o already. It is amazing the difference in egg sizes. It's also fun when you share your packages. Those chicken saddles are beautifully made. So kind of Sheila the Louisiana Lady!!! It will be fun to see them on the hens. Thanks for putting a happy smile on my face today.

[@oscartheduckwhisperer9724]

I love that you add the egg collection now. I tried your cat food trick to get the ducks to lay this winter worked like a charm! 👍

[@Deafgreekboy]

It cracks me up to see Toby and the birds interact. It is comforting that my dog isn’t the ONLY dog who has a significant part of their snacking habit be goose and chicken droppings.

I’ve been going through your old videos-it’s so impressive how far the farm has come in just a few years! Good work on the farm and the videos Morgan!

[@chilanya]

i discovered your channel recently and i've been binge watching the events of the last year in one week. so stoked for the pond! i hope it works out :-) I really like how you edit your videos, clearly a lot of work and thought goes into it and i love the format and your use of music!

[@flautalee3090]

Yes, isn’t this a great channel! Morgan’s stories and all the animals had truly helped me cope with all the stress of the past year. Glad you found the channel, too.

[@asgerknudsen9069]

The background music in these videos always fits super well and give a great feel to the video. How do you find and choose your music?

[@terrenusvitae]

When i've seen people herding ducks they seem to often have a long thin pole to help gently remind the ducks where they're supposed to go (by providing a barrier, not by hitting them!).

[@Dhemize]

He has the camera at the end of a long stick! That’s how he gets the low to the ground shots while herding, multipurpose camera I guess!

[@Sarafimm2]

I think the moment the pond liquifies, the birds will know it before Morgan does. The scent of liquid water versus snow and ice.

That trip to the post office was awesome! Your town could not look anymore Vermont if it tried. Would love to see more of the town in future videos. As a transplanted New Englander myself, I love all the little towns up there and there unique New England character. I live in DC now, and probably lived fairly close to you when you were down here. DC has certainly changed during the pandemic.

[@birdrichfarm8519]

Wow! Seeing all that snow even now. I am in SW Florida and forget how different it is up north this time of year. My birds would love a little snow. We fight to keep them cool in summer.

[@davemeise2192]

One way to help prevent the chickens from laying in a variety of places is to avoid letting them out of the chicken coop until about three or four hours after sunrise. They also need laying stalls and they will use them but letting them out too early encourages them to lay elsewhere. It's what we used to do with our chickens all the time and we almost never found eggs in different places. As an aside, if one does that then simply wait until shortly after sunset and all of the chickens will also return to their roosting (chicken coop) place for the evening/night. We never had ducks or geese so I don't know about them.

Oh great, I watched this and will surely get another eggs in the coops search dream. The last was a couple days ago and I was barefoot in the goose house and finding all sorts of chicken eggs tucked in corners on the large shelf spaces used to store straw and pine shavings. I think there was 1 marans egg, and 2 teeny eggs, plus loads of banty eggs in every crevice. I wonder what these dreams mean?
