Oh poor Mumbels. She is so white and healthy here. Hopefully she is getting better and will be back to her glorious days.

[@marilynbergemann6927]

I am sorry that Mumbles got hurt. But she brought a lot of people to your channel. Mumbles is a very beautiful goose. Here it’s neat how she taught the ducks how to eat out of that feeder that you made..🪿🙂

[@BernadetteMarthaGreen]

Cody, I am so proud of how you know what to do with your injured animals, they are so glad to have you. You are a good Man. 🥰

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

Still learning

[@denisecaster1251]

❤Mumbles is so pretty here. I didn’t know that a goose could have beautiful blue eyes… I love watching your channel and learning new things. Thank you!❤

[@DawnDascoli]

You look and sound so tired but yet you still take care of the animals

[@AAnnie...Iamokay]

I never realized how curious ducks were.

[@UnknownRoads21]

I enjoy this channel, thank you for taking such good care of these animals, around my area I see some that are not holding up their part of the farm. and animals. these are beautiful, animals really enoy the company of other animals especially during recovery...

[@Funlovinlady-]

Mumbles is a star 🌟

[@NCD10700]

Thank you for the tip of running the drill backwards! I probably would have cracked several covers!

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

Glad to help!

[@JadeBinion]

I have a Dutch/Mal too!! 😍🥰 Ours is a male named Phoenix (whom we affectionately call 'Prince' Phoenix). 😅 Ornery thing!! No lack of character in this one! lol But your fur baby is gorgeous! ❤ Phoenix could never sit next to chickens though... They'd be lunch in a heartbeat. Yours is so calm. Ours is a land shark!

[@whatsinaname3561]

Just an idea for you... we got 3 big tractor tyres, cut the one rim off, lined them with heavy duty plastic that hung over the top and bolted it on top. Then we made a wooden "deck snd put that on top, made a "step" inside using pavers and flower pots and made a "ramp" on tge outside using car tyres filled with soil. Our ducks love them and we probably need to empty once a year! Water stays mostly clear. We have ours under a tree so tge shade prevents tge water gojng stagnant but i want to put pond weed in, if i am able to get some. We also made ponds for the geese using a outside wall of car tyres and heavy duty plastic. We put stones to hold the plastic, filled them and when we change the water, we collapse one side, rinse using a garden broom and water and replace the wall and fill it up again. Makes for great ponds. Another idea is a wooden frame, plastic and something to hold the plastic down. Our dam is quite far from the paddocks so in the heat they have cool ponds to cool off in

Cody you are such a DIY guy! Love it, especially when you re-use supplies! Great idea for the ducks water tote! Should help cut back on the water usage! Have a great day!!

[@MorrisandApril]

This is amazing!!! About how long does it last with that many ducks?

[@John-ng5th]

great idea with the duck waterer, it didn't take long for them to mess the water up but hopefully it saves you on water usage. The little chick seems to be getting so much better with your help, great job 👍 Your videos are always great to watch 👌

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

The little chick does seem to be getting better, I've been working on him everyday. The duck waterer is helping with the mess inside their pen at night right now. And thanks, glad you enjoy the videos.

[@whatsinaname3561]

I've been putting water in my pen with my ducks but I have to change it every night. Do you give them water at night? They sit in it and because the hens still share their pen, I think they also mess in it. Should I put water in at night? It gets terribly hot here and some nights it is still 32°C at 9pm! I'm scared to leave them without as we lost some ducklings because they spilt their water. I like you water system! Can they still reach the water when it runs low? Thanks again for your videos. I am learning so much through you. Love from South Africa

*That's a Long Island Duck.*

[@QueenDred]

It's nice to see Mumbles preinjury. Nice seeing some goats. I guess the waterer didn't work.

[@MaryCuna-ux4en]

[@odiswhitetexas]

Why didn't you just connect a hose to a float valve for both the pond AND the duck drinker vs. hand-filling them both? I apologize, but I don't understand why you would not make these systems automatic. Thanks!

[@mygardeninbloom]

Where are your safety glasses? 😎

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

Now that you mention it, Hanging on the steps...

[@lorinull9005]

Is splay leg what happened to Jim? What do you do with the eggs you gather? Do you have meat ducks too? Just wondering....

[@WhittAcresHomestead]

No Jim slipped a growth plate. I eat, sell, and share the eggs. I got meat ducks but theyre egg layers now.
