I second this and might even encourage sloping the board a little so it's a little egg ramp into the duck house so if a duck lays the egg, right up against the top of the board and wall, it will gently roll back into the duck house as soon as mama duck moves away. You could even attach it to the door rather than the coop, so when you release the quaken, the quaken won't trip on the egg ramp/ bevel.
Poor Abby, once bitten, twice shy. A lesson she was going to have to learn eventually. In regards to the chicken eggs, while a great idea, wouldn't you have to increase the amount of hens significantly to make a worthwhile profit?
Look at Abby learning. She seems to be adjusting well, in spite of the unfortunate shock. Thank you so much for sharing. I am planning my own homestead and your videos and those of others have really helped my planning process.
One of my "jobs" on the farm as a kid was the opening and closing of gates for dad to bring the tractors through. I don't know how many times I got bit by the electric fence attached to that gate, probably hundreds if not thousands. :)
When I was really young, I was playing in a ditch and got my shoes and socks wet. I put them on the electroc fence to dry 😂 and yes, I had gotten shocked before so I should have known what was gonna happen.
Sadly as far as the fences go it often only turns out to be the best way for them to learn, but having the voltage as low as possible because they'll never forget. Glad she's okay though, looking forward to how things turn out this summer :) All the best from Bournemouth, UK
Abby, you have shown me why leashes are made of non-conductive materials. On the duck eggs: a little board by the door could help, or you could go inside and collect duck eggs before releasing the quaken.
Suggestion. Put a small wedge shaped piece of wood against the duck door to make the eggs roll in instead of out. It would only need to be 1/2" or so thick and an inch or so wide.
Poor Abby, what a way to learn about the electric fence with her wet nose, it made me feel sick hearing her cry out like that and poor Morgan knowing how much he loves all his animals it must have hurt him to see Abby like that. Take care Abby girl you have so much still to learn but follow Toby and you'll be fine. Love to all at Gold Shaw Farm xxxxxxxx
I jumped & winced hard seeing that. Poor baby. I have no real clue how that would feel other than the few times I've positioned my tens unit wrong & got that shock.
When I was a kid, I got my feet wet playing in a ditch and put them on electric fence to "dry". I had gotten shocked before and should have known better 😂 wet socks did the trick though.
you might think about hiring a trainer to bring out Abbey's herding instincts. Once she learns how to move cattle she will be able to do so better than you could ever hope to. She is never going to be Toby, but she has other qualities if you are willing to educate her how to use them.
Wrong. If u want a dog herding, better get a dog specialized in it. Many dogs are not good 'jack of all trades'. Some traits can conflict with each other, and better not motivate them together.
@@Alexa-hs5bd Abby’s breeder does not breed for herding instincts. Her dogs are livestock guardian dogs and are good at their job. I’ve been to her farm and seen her dogs. Any dog born there gets a great start and is raised with livestock from a young age. Not herding. Guarding. I’m not sure why you think Abby was bred to herd.
If I remember correctly this is how it was. Abby came from a farm where the Maremmas were sheep herders. Toby came from a farm where the Maremmas were guarding livestock fowl.
The thing i love the most is getting my lunch and watching your videos. They just give such a wholesome vibe, thanks for posting them Morgan! Btw RESPECT AND FEAR THE FENCEEE
Awe....my heart just broke.....poor Abby. I was so excited to see the cattle out in the pasture....but poor Abby yelped helter skelterr. I know she has to learn....but whoa. I still love you Morgan but that was hard to hear and see.....I know that you were upset too.....but she'll realize.
I laughed too hard when Abby got shocked. I've been there more than once. We actually had to put up an electric fence to keep our dogs inside of a chain link fence that had some places we were concerned they might escape. We haven't had to plug it back in for years.
Spring on a farm is just so charming and fantastic. Such a great feeling with new budding life, the sweet baby sounds in the air. The fresh air and blooming flowers. Your farm is so wonderful, my heart is melting into a puddle watching this.
I’ve never really been a outdoor type guy but watching your vids and your gift of storytelling is really wanting me to get into owning a few chickens or ducks in the future
It is wonderful to see the highland back in the pasture again the little calves are so cute and fluffy. Glad to see the little duck with leg problems is doing better. Lovely video. 💖
If they were horses, they'd run. Cows stop immediately to graze. Amazing to see the difference. Also, poor Abby! But she sure respected that fence after that zing.
Morgan, your videos keep getting better and better. I love this one and I'm happy to see everything and everyone is doing so well at GSF. I felt so sorry for Abby Girl when she was shocked by the cattle fencing and yelped in pain from it. I'm glad she's alright, and hopefully, learned a lesson from the experience. Take care!
Morning...glad to see the cattle out enjoying the great outdoors! Boy, your fields look super green and healthy. Are you going to change their winter housing for this coming winter?
Attach a ramp up to quacken door and then a ramp down. Maybe a 2 inch rise and fall. Laid eggs will then roll away from the door. Also as they seem to like to lay in corners you could use pallets to build some extra corners inside the quacken house just make them movable so you can clean easily. Maybe a simple ‘X’ shape part wall.
It is heartwarming to see your spring pasture with red and black calves gamboling against the carpet of green. It’s especially cute to see ethe two guard dogs watching the chickens thru the fence. I love this video. Things are really paying off for you Morgan. Well done!
It always amazes me how fast time flies and how fast your dogs grow. I still remember Toby being a puppy and now he is a full adult and a superstar guard dog, I think I have never seen a dog that was so perfect for his job as Toby. And now even Abby got so big, even though she is still a puppy the difference is so huge compared to when she arrived.
The two dogs are doing so well because they have a smart and caring owner and trainer in their master. Toby and Abbey get the attention and training they need to succeed.
Letting the cows out when the grass isn't tall and luscious is actually good. They don't get the scours as bad, since they also are eating hay. Love watching calves play. Especially when running around with tails twisted over their backs.
Great Spring video. All the animals seem so happy to be out of the barns/coops. Poor Abs had a tough learning experience and we all felt for her. Hopefully she is a quick learner. Can't get enough of those sweet baby calves. Hugs from N.C..❤️
Awesome to see the cows out. Seeing Toby play with the calves is super cute. Didn't know in the birth of the newest that it was darker as well, awesome to see the 50/50 split in color there.
Dude, a plank of wood and two nails would fix your duck egg problems. What an amazing chicken set up you've got going though. Very impressed. And also seems to have reduced the maintenance, which is win for everyone, especially the cows and chickens.
Hi Morgan and Alison, Pablo, Ginny, Toby, Litl Barn Cat, Molly, Abby and all the cattle, having gone around the farm doing chores, I didn't see the Weird Silkie Chickens.
Great slow-mo in today’s video ~ the ducks coming out and Toby enjoying his duck egg was terrific! Ty Morgan. I’ve been following your channel since CoVid shut everything down and I first checked out YT.😊
I have to say, I absolutely adore you, your family and your farm. I discovered you recently, in my 3-rd university year and binge-watching your videos is so relaxing (especially now when I'm studying for my finals). Your enthusiasm is contagious, you give your animal friends such creative names, your family is amazing and I like so much the way you don't fear showing emotions.
I totally love goat cheese and goat yogurt. Whenever there is a choice between cow milk cheese and goats milk cheese, I go for goat milk cheese - whether it is cheddar, Edam, Gouda … whatever. There must be a movement because where I get cheese, the options for goat milk cheese are increasing all the time. Good luck with your enterprise in the beautiful State of Vermont. From what I can see in Morgans videos it is a beautiful state, a paradise.
re: broken duck eggs....can you nail something against the inside of the door to keep them away? Maybe an old brush or something else that would poke them?
OMG. As you said fear and respect the fence. Fear and respect that escalator jumped into my head. Then you cut to it. That made my day. I can't believe it. That kid is on the escalator again
When I saw the little contraption you made for the gosling, I had a chuckle I remember years ago when I was in hospital after having our first baby, a lady in he next bed had a baby with clicky hips. This is when the ball and socket are not developed fully, solution putting on 2 nappies ( the cloth type) together. This keeps the legs apart, eventually the ball goes into place in the socket, with older children they wear a harness. Well done👏👏👍👍
It reminded me of how my sister-in-law was so self conscious because she had a crooked 3rd toe that went over the second toe. She wouldn’t even wear sandals because it embarrassed her. One of her daughters was born with the exact same crooked toe. Well the grandmother of the baby taped that little crooked toe down with a Band-Aid. Lo and behold that’s all it took to straighten out the grand baby’s crooked toe. It was straight before she was crawling.
I remember being a kid and herding the cattle at my grandparents' farm. I don't know if I was stupid or if the cattle was better behaved, but I don't remember nobody being as cautious as Morgan with his cattle. Granted, they were Friesian dairy cattle without big horns that could go though me. Well, except the oxen. They had horns because they were beasts of burden and you use the horns to attach a harness to better guide them. But they were so well trained that you could just point the way with a stick and they would turn just fine. It was a very old school farm.
His cattle were all out in pasture and unfamiliar with humans when he bought them. He's said he doubts they will ever be 100% comfortable around him. And yes, those horns would make most people more than a little cautious.
You're in the mobile chicken run and outside the fencing, waiting patiently for you are Toby, Abby and, I'm guessing, Molly...that's such a sign of contentment and companionship if ever there was....great job Morgan 😊😊🤍
Over the years, I have been watching your videos, and it has been inspiring to see that growth. It's been some time. I just can't wait to see that next video that's produced. Don't know why it's a challenge for me to make it to view a "live stream." You and your wife have held my fascination since the beginning. I am amazed at the progress of the "farm." Your animals are a joy. The dogs and cats have their own story, and I am waiting with bated breath for that book to come. Your stories and what you do are the icing on the cake.
duck egg issue is EXTREMELY easy, just nail a board across the bottom of the door (inside), this will prevent the eggs rolling down the ramp.
I second this and might even encourage sloping the board a little so it's a little egg ramp into the duck house so if a duck lays the egg, right up against the top of the board and wall, it will gently roll back into the duck house as soon as mama duck moves away. You could even attach it to the door rather than the coop, so when you release the quaken, the quaken won't trip on the egg ramp/ bevel.
Good idea, but I'll miss "Release the quacken!" with an anticlimatic egg rolling out, LOL.
@@anlemeinthegame1637 Yeah, "Release the quacken!" won't be the same without an egg or two rolling out!
This guy with the big brain :) I love it
I was about to suggest that :)
Poor sweet Abby, she got a buzzcock, she's going to remember it. Of course the cows are comfortable with cool popa Toby, he is a general after all.
Yep, she won't be doing that again! No real harm done and she'll have learnt the lesson sure enough
Good to see the cows being absolutely fine with Toby that close
Poor Abby, once bitten, twice shy. A lesson she was going to have to learn eventually. In regards to the chicken eggs, while a great idea, wouldn't you have to increase the amount of hens significantly to make a worthwhile profit?

Seeing Dottie rifling through the dirt really put the value of chickens for soil health into perspective for me
Same! 🐓
One of my "jobs" on the farm as a kid was the opening and closing of gates for dad to bring the tractors through. I don't know how many times I got bit by the electric fence attached to that gate, probably hundreds if not thousands. :)

You are so carrying of your animals. So glad spring is here for us all.

i saw abby hitting the fence from a mile away 😭 sweet baby
Spring is insane here too. Finishing planters, prepping beds, sowing seeds, everything looks like a tornado came through!
I like how Toby was guarding Bonnie and Joey while outside the fence. He is such a good protector, good boy!
Poor Abby, what a way to learn about the electric fence with her wet nose, it made me feel sick hearing her cry out like that and poor Morgan knowing how much he loves all his animals it must have hurt him to see Abby like that.

Hi morgan, good To see the Cattle out
2:31 i thoroughly enjoyed that cow pushing the bale of hayyyy so cute
Ouch. Poor puppy!
the baby geese are so damn cute, canadian geese babies are starting to pop out around here and man are they adorable
It is wonderful to see the highland back in the pasture again the little calves are so cute and fluffy. Glad to see the little duck with leg problems is doing better. Lovely video. 💖
The cattle moved to pasture is a sign that Spring has finally, fully sprung!
Poor Abby, at least she will learn fast now
Releasing the quackens is my favorite thing! That and putting them to bed makes me laugh!
Excellent! So glad the gosling with the leg issue is better, loved all the updates, love seeing all the animals ❤🐮🐤🐕🦺🐕
If they were horses, they'd run. Cows stop immediately to graze. Amazing to see the difference. Also, poor Abby! But she sure respected that fence after that zing.
I don’t even know WHY this is so darn satisfying. It just IS SATISFYING.
Maybe it’s seeing the new growth and new life, the circle of life…
Oh man I hope Abby is OK
The cattle have gone to pasture, Spring is here!
Morgan- it's all looking like...a farm. So proud😌
Love that you named a baby calf Bonnie McMurray. That show is seriously underrated.
Pitter patter!
I’ve Been watching for 4 years and I’m proud to see you grow Morgen love y’all
Spring is my favorite season! Baby season! So excited to see so many little ones! Can’t wait to see more
I love how toby makes sure to keep his distance from the calfs when the other cows are around, so cool to see!
Such fun exciting times for spring on the farm!! We are so excited to have the opportunity to add your genetics to our farm!!! Thank you again! ❤️
Good luck!!
This has been a beautiful watching experience. Brought me a lot of joy. It's the next best thing to having your own and doing it yourself.
