Morgan, I hope you don't get any negative feedback about selling your 3 weird chicken chicks. I'm proud of you. You are a working farmer not a hobby farmer. I was raised in a family of working farmers and they would have laughed at the idea of not treating their farms as a business. Good job and it will be fun to see if there's more little families of weird chickens in the future. Go, Mr. Frizzle! By the way, the poem was fun!
I'd like to second your comment. I understand that as a type of public media star Morgan will receive criticism and worse no matter what he does, but it gets to the point where it's completely ignorant and pathetic. No doubt someone(s) will have a judgement, like "How dare you do what you want with your own farm and livestock!" 🙄These human troll bots need to get a job, life, whatever, just get off the internet😄
😊😊No reason to criticize working farmers who feed us. Morgan does a decent job of minimizing his footprint while giving his animals a good life. Remember, making a profit is the only way to sustain the farm.
Actually I thing selling those 3 chicks was a good idea. Hobby animals can quickly become a money pit for a small farm like yours, so finding a way to balance their upkeep is the best option in the long run. Plus they were a little too young to live safely with the mature birds in a limited space over winter.
The weird chickens just went from a hobby to a business. Morgan's goal will be to get as many weird chicks as possible next year, knowing that he might only keep 2 or 3 out of 20 or more. Selling the rest at a premium would pay for the whole operation and more, meaning any eggs he gets over the rest of the year are profit. I wanted to see those 3 awesome weird chicks grow up, but I'm glad Morgan realizes the value in breeding them now.
I reckon Mel Blanc would be a good name for the new rooster (after the actor who voiced many characters including Foghorn Leghorn with the added bonus of 'blanc' being the French word for white)
I haven't been able to watch these for a while, and I'm sorry for that. My partner and I used to watch you together and we loved your channel, even inspired us to get some Silkies and Burford Brown rescues of our own. Sadly, Andy died suddenly in March, and I haven't had the strength to watch this channel since, until today. I'm planning to try again when I have my own footing. Long live love for the animals, vegans, vegetarians or otherwise. Your balance of business and compassion is such an anchor. Wish I lived in Vermont so I could come and say hi. As it is, sending love from the UK. Glad Bruce is still about, hope he is as fiesty as ever! He was one of Andy's favourites. :)
Most sincere condolences from me in Australia. Having been in your same situation over 8 yrs ago I do know you will eventually find joy and pleasure in your life in the future. Just take your days one at a time. What helped me was that I had to get myself well and healthier after being my pRents carer for 25 yrs then my husband's carer for 5 yrs and was so run down and unwell of not only being others carer but working full time too. My joining a Wellness Centre Gym and beginning Tai Chi for my mental health I really slowly did regain a new me to help my grieving ( still cannot believe it is over 8 years since my husband had to leave us because of his terrible illness as it feels like yesterday still). There is a lovely future for you ❤️
From the UK: Apple juice = pressed apple juice Cider = fermented alcoholic beverage There is no such thing as 'hard cider' here, it's apple juice or it's alcoholic cider, no exceptions :) Would like to see cider production videos :)
The distinction of "fresh" cider here in the states is from prohibition! Back in the day it was either juice or cider, but since the sale of alcohol was illegal, juice with yeast was called cider as a "do it yourself" kind of thing. Sell it before it ferments and it's legal!
As a name for the Rooster: Foghorn. Good to see the farm at it's winter weight, which is down for winter. Will there be any beef harvesting this year? Randy might be ready, but maybe you're going to pursue a 2 & 1/2 year rotation for steers.
I remember when you went to that farm and got Bruce, a quite sweet gander it seemed. Still seems to be? I was so happy when he got his ladies not that long after, as well. And now he's the Prime Gander! I hope his DNA turns out to be very benevolent and prolific for years to come🥰
You're a working farm. Culling is part of the business. Yea, it's sad that some have to go to improve the genetics of each flock. I believe you do what's best for the animals. When I had my farm slaughter days, I disappeared. The farm is looking good, Morgan..🌟 🙋🏼♀️🐈🐕 Toby Dog book ❤️
Love seeing Bruce prosper! I remember when he came to GSF, and how happy he was to be re-united with his ladies a bit later on. Also: cows enjoying quality tree-scritches = many Zen moments :)
Yes, would love to see another cider pressing video (collection, review of the apple trees on your farm, pressing, storing... and feeding the pigs the pomace!).
Good decision on the chickens. Even as someone who now just has a small garden and is probably going to re-start keeping a few chickens in the new year, I know from my previous smallholding experience that you always have to think strategically and manage a flock for the long-term. So sad as it was, I think selling the chicks made perfect sense. By the way here in the UK the term Cider can ONLY be used for what you call "hard" or fermented cider. The other (non alcoholic) stuff we always call cloudy apple juice. I would love to see a video of you making some hard cider.
The book came today! I live in Poland and I'm surprised how fast it came. Well before the predicted date. Now I have books from a total of 5 different counries in my collection and it's my first american! Besides I love books and I love your farm, so it was a no brainer. I'd decided that I had to have it since I've been watching you for the last 3 years and basically your farm is the only thing I watch on YT. Can't wait to read it :D
Thanks for the delicate way you took us through the harvesting days. I learned a lot but not too much. This was a chock full video with awesome music to boot.
Not sure if this has been said before but you might want to consider adding some of the feathers into your veggie garden. Its a great source of nitrogen.
I have come to love those geese of yours. I watched a video this morning of a Canadian woman whose pet goose was attacked on their porch by an eagle. She was breastfeeding her infant at the time of the squawking. Their doorbell camera caught the action. The eagle was dragging the goose by the neck with his claws. She ran outside, *still breastfeeding* !!!, and chased the eagle away.
I think it’s great that geese live got such a long time, you could keep your good breeders for a long time. I also think it’s awesome that you are using the organs for your dogs. I’m certain that the organs would make a good part of their diet.
Making apple cider in the fall in October has always been such a fond memory for me growing up. Its definitely a major part of Halloween month. Grandpa still does it every yr just like the maple syrup though the production level is cut back significantly compared to 20 yrs ago. If some more of the kids, grand children and great grands would come and help we'd be able to give some to just about everyone in our family and friends circle but me, my one cousin and one uncle are the only ones that still come help Grandpa w the work all yr long. So we still get cider and enough maple syrup for the year. ❤
Thanksgiving Geese. Followed by Bring Home the Bacon! Edit: Apple Cider Video! For someone who is working in an urban environment, your videos of more rural life is a good way to relax and see more of the world.
Next time, when gathering geese, collect them at night. They'll roost and nest down at night. Get them into a smaller concentric circle to harvest them. Or put them into your empty chicken coops and grab them from there. Also, clip their wings so they cannot fly before harvesting starts. This will make the annual mass extinction event, plausible and easier for you.
Good decision about silkies. I was worried, they were too young and small. Also, breeding silkies is a good business, eggs, hens and a little bit of food
Never a dull moment on Gold Shaw Farm. Love your videos Morgan. Been a fan since about 60,000 subscribers. Awesome to see you ❤ my comments from time to time considering how many subs you have.
I'm interested in a cider video! I had the one apple tree in my backyard drastically pruned a few years ago, but now it's back to producing apples. I've tried making applesauce, but the apples are just too bitter. I'm told that they might be cider apples, so I'd like to see if I could make a small batch.
The weird chickens are some of my favorites… so while I am sad to see them go - I wouldn’t want to see them bullied all winter ! I for one would like to see another cider video !
The animals are amazing! You're so funny! The rhymes were great, I liked hearing you talk about the book. I'm not mad that you sold the chicks. Make apple cider, that would be so cool to see.
Next year you should have turkeys for Thanks Giving and Christmas. That is something I was thinking when I started watching this video after the amusing ditty, which was rather clever, in the beginning. Turkeys are something to research as to whether a viable option for your farm.
Props for deciding to sell the weird chicks. When someone offers a good price for birds that are not your breeders, it's not a bad decision to let 'em go. Pretty sure they will have a good home if new keeper decided to shell out a good buck.
I have been waiting for the audiobook. Lookong forward t listening to it on my long haul flight in 2 weeks from the Philippines to Istanbul and then on to Spain.
You’ll not be disappointed unless the place noise is so loud you can’t hear well. I never noticed plane noise particularly until during Covid time. The take-offs and landings especially, but the rest of the time, too. Pretty darn loud. Have a great long long trip!
First of all, I’ll add my vote to the cider video YES vote. Secondly, I mainly came here to say I absolutely love how there’s alway at least one cow that has to check out your camera so we get an up close snoot shot. Today was a JACKPOT though, with a bonus cow tongue clip. (Was that baby Bea?) And the tree rubbing looked SO satisfying!
I missed this video when it was posted for some reason - just saw it... We had a flock of geese years ago and we had Angel Wing and the breed that was responsible was Toulouse.
Really enjoyed today's video. Also excited as my Toby dog book came today. I think you should name the white rooster after "Dee Snider" from Twisted Sister.😂
Yeah, good apple years and you just end up with so many apples no normal family can eat in time. So the fermented cider is certainly a must if you don't want to waste apples. Usually here, many people put buckets out at the road so people can help themselves. Most older gardens have 2 apple trees.
Hey Morgan!! Dont read the comments!! No seriously thoe, just wanted to say that you are actually a very interesting and inspiring guy. From a Connecticut kid to another. My wife and i are making the move to upstate ny after we renovate the farmhouse. Story so similar to your, farm size too. It’s intimidating for sure, but something says we must. Thanks again for being such a honest and caring person. And shoot im in my 30s with no kids just yet, and im thinking of buying the book!! Haha keep up the dream bud!!
Those black hoses are amazing. Ive had 250 feet in my wash van for 6 years. Its probably 200 feet now just replacing ends taking off sections to make things. Highly advise thos black hoses
Just passing this on, why not use the goose feet for broth? It's really rich stuff and full of good nutrients. Pair that with the waste meat from processing rice and dog safe veggies and you have an AMAZING food for the pups.
Frankfurt, Germany here. Apfelwein (cider) is the local, traditional drink. 5% to 6% alcohol generally, crab apples are used in the making to impart a sharp taste.
As I'm rewatching this video, I keep seeing ..... and HEARING new things; like the blips and plops especially around 18:52, those cracked me up. And Morgan, I love the music, I especially love that you don't make it so loud that I am continually having to increase and decrease the volume every time music kicks in. Unfortunately, I've found that integrating music seems to be REALLY hard for video creators. Not sure if it's the tools they're using or their hearing? Maybe it's just me and my sensitive ears?
Toby Dog Book Review: Currently reading it with my kiddo. We both cried in the first two chapters. He enjoys the animals and pictures. I enjoy the way the story is written- it's just like a Goldshaw farm vlog!
I just found that the school I work at will be visiting a local farm later this year. I am buying the book to be read to the kids prior to the trip. :)
On your live stream I mentioned that yes chickens can have issues when inbred. My neighbor is constantly trying to hatch his eggs from inbred chickens hatching success is not good. It pained me to get rid of my 4 yr old rooster who I used this past spring for the next generation of breeders. Found homes for my roosters..if that wasn't so I don't want to know!
I've never eaten goose. Have never seen it in a store or on a menu. Only time I've heard of eating goose (before Gold Shaw Farm) is in Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". Have eaten pheasant, quail, wild turkey and dove. Doves are very tasty.
Glad Bruce gets to keep his feet

there is decent business in raising pretty and easy to care for birds, especially birds that convert food waste into fresh eggs
I reckon Mel Blanc would be a good name for the new rooster (after the actor who voiced many characters including Foghorn Leghorn with the added bonus of 'blanc' being the French word for white)
Great Idea!
Would kinda mirror Black Francis, too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 excellent idea. Very lateral thinking even for another rooster in the future 👍
I love Foghorn! Macho chicken!
White Francis?
While I'm sorry to hear the chicks left, I'm so happy to hear Mr. Frizzle stays. He makes me laugh whenever I see him.
Watching the cattle rub on the tree is a new kind of moment of Zen.

That's so weird given the litteral definition of cider does not include alcohol.

I checked to be sure, both Websters and Oxfords dictionary both state
"Cider is a NONE FERMENTED none alcoholic beverage typically made from apples"
The localisation of language is always so neat. :)
@@essixthedutchie8617interesting!
Love the goose rhyme: It's sublime!
As a name for the Rooster: Foghorn. Good to see the farm at it's winter weight, which is down for winter. Will there be any beef harvesting this year? Randy might be ready, but maybe you're going to pursue a 2 & 1/2 year rotation for steers.
Yep, he looks like Foghorn Leghorn. Maybe Foggie for short. Randy is not a steer, they are the ones with dead musician names, like Jimi Hendrix.
seconded for Foghorn
@@georgeharris6851 Randy is named after a pro wrestler now gone on to wrestler heaven. He still seems fairly compact for a bull.
I thought of Foghorn too!
"I say, I say, I think this be the name!"
Another vote for Foghorn here!!

Honestly, I just love hearing your joy when you talk about your weird chickens. Your passion is infectious! ❤
I'm glad you kept Mr. Frizzle, he's my favorite weird chicken, and I'd like to see what he could produce with the other chickens.
Yes, would love to see another cider pressing video (collection, review of the apple trees on your farm, pressing, storing... and feeding the pigs the pomace!).
Morgan, that opening piece on Bruce the goose was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!😂❤🎉

Morgan, I love the rhyme in the beginning. You've found your niche, farming. You and Allison have come so far.
Watching you toss those chickens in the air reminds me of poor traumatized Les on WKRP, “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”
Loved the poem at the start of the video! God bless you and your animals Morgan. Have a great weekend!
The poem will a good opening for the “Bruce-the-Goose” book in the Gold Shaw Farm series.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Not sure if this has been said before but you might want to consider adding some of the feathers into your veggie garden. Its a great source of nitrogen.
I'm sure the new owner for the silkie rooster is willingly to take him when you're done with him. it's really hard to get good diverse genes.
I have come to love those geese of yours. I watched a video this morning of a Canadian woman whose pet goose was attacked on their porch by an eagle. She was breastfeeding her infant at the time of the squawking. Their doorbell camera caught the action. The eagle was dragging the goose by the neck with his claws.

What a fierce Mom!
Have you ever considered adding bird houses to the upper pasture to help with bugs
And maybe bat houses…
I think it’s great that geese live got such a long time, you could keep your good breeders for a long time.
I also think it’s awesome that you are using the organs for your dogs. I’m certain that the organs would make a good part of their diet.
The fall changes at your farm are beautiful. Of course it is market time. With everything that means.

Great intro Morgan, solid. . Name the roster foghorn leghorn!! Love your vids bro!!
Oh i like that name too. I suggested Gandalf.

It's the Great Goose Roundup!
Yes, Morgan, please include in a future video the making of both fresh and hard cider. Thanx!
I watch all the videos you make.
Thank you for sharing your plans so clearly.
I've never seen apple cider being made. I'd love to see a video about that.
I’m taking an environmental science class and it is amazing how much your words line up with what I’m learning. Super cool. Keep doing you.
Hi Morgan! I received my hard copy of the Toby dog book last week. Congratulations! It's wonderful!
I’d love another cider pressing video! Thanks as always for your hard work.
Just wanted to say that I love the music in your videos, especially this one!❤
Those highland are adorable ☺️
"Franklin Roostervelt" immediately came to my head! 😂 Seems a good fit for the guy!

nothing makes farmers happier when they wake up in the morning accompanied by the sound of farm animals
bought myself the toby dog book for christmas, looking forward to reading it on those cold winter days ♥
That was a cracking video, brilliant to hear about the Goose butchering and the whole process behind it !

I’m glad the book is doing well. Looking forward to a time when it is available through other means other than Amazon.
Very enjoyable and fun.Thankyou for sharing with us your farm and farm experiences.
I'd be up for another cider vlog. Would love to see the fermented final product too!
Wicked cute poem. I just love watching cows play. It doesn't matter what size or age they are either. Morgan I'd totally watch that live stream.
Really enjoyed today's video. Also excited as my Toby dog book came today. I think you should name the white rooster after "Dee Snider" from Twisted Sister.😂
Love how you got chartreuse in there Morgan. Great poetry!
Yeah, good apple years and you just end up with so many apples no normal family can eat in time. So the fermented cider is certainly a must if you don't want to waste apples. Usually here, many people put buckets out at the road so people can help themselves. Most older gardens have 2 apple trees.
The electric fence was like the 495 Beltway in DC during rush hour . All the honking . 😂😂😂😂
I am good for all your progress! You are the boss of the farm!
BTW, the name of the rooster: Mr. R.
I'm not not mad.I'm glad you are making good decisions for your farm's financial situation and healthy of your flocks. 😄👍💙🇺🇸🕊
I’m glad they have a home that really wants them. It’s a reality of farm life.

Love the cow zen moment at the end ❤

The book is excellent! Thank you
I just found that the school I work at will be visiting a local farm later this year. I am buying the book to be read to the kids prior to the trip. :)
On your live stream I mentioned that yes chickens can have issues when inbred. My neighbor is constantly trying to hatch his eggs from inbred chickens hatching success is not good. It pained me to get rid of my 4 yr old rooster who I used this past spring for the next generation of breeders. Found homes for my roosters..if that wasn't so I don't want to know!
Loved the intro! Love rhyming!
Looking forward to the pasture, orchard and herd review by the end of the quarter. 19 going to be easy winter chore wise?
I'm finally getting my hardcover copy on monday 😍 Greetings from the UK
I've never eaten goose. Have never seen it in a store or on a menu. Only time I've heard of eating goose (before Gold Shaw Farm) is in Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". Have eaten pheasant, quail, wild turkey and dove. Doves are very tasty.
OKAYYY!!!! LOL the beginning of the video with the rhyme🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🌟👏🏼👍🏼🌟💫
I can't wait for more weird chickens!!! If they are going to be that profitable you should definitely hatch more out 😉
Do you make children’s book with rhymes like you do? 😊😂❤❤ that was such a joy!
Loved the poem and the video 👌
