This is my dream world! Big piece of land, small waterfall on a stream, birds, cows, chickens, ducks, a horse and the perfect dog , a Border Collie. Loved the video
8-1-19 EST HI,My dad has been looking too(dream world) when you do, let me know, Please.( Shiloh, my dads best friend (I'm his Beagle) Super great video
I was raised in a place like this and always thought it was too much work to be done even if I loved with all my life. Then I moved to a super tiny apartment on the city to work in an office (mostly to prepare myself for the real world), and suddenly I was like 'wth am I doing????? THIS is hardwork, I'm bloody unhappy, this isn't the real world, this is a joke'. Thing is, life is a hardwork, but some hardwokrs are just insane and unreasonable; I'm moving back as soon as I can for good.
@@azurehue2248 Our Khaki Campbells reduced our grassed area to a Somme-like expanse of mud and craters...slug and snail free, but pretty barren too! But they were a joy and I miss them...and the eggs too!
coming from a person with ducks, i dont know what you mean by "they dont destroy the greens"... my girl Ferdinand is a monster green destroyer... and an expert snail/slug ignore-er..
I love ducks♡ This year a wild duck started breeding in a flower pot infront of my bedroom window right next to my bed on our balcony. It was one of the most magical experiences ever. I am bedbound due to illness so I spent a lot of time watching and talking to the ducky♡ She only left for a short period every day in the evening to feed and wash and do her business. She didn't soil her nest even once. She had 6 gorgeous chicks. I hope she comes back next year♡
I have a farm collie, his family comes down from immediate farm stock. And while mine sleeps indoors, his family has a door to the outside to protect the the stock, chickens, ducks. gees, turkeys, goats, sheep and the vegetable garden. My dog would be a horrid pet without the work he does, and needs his jobs to stay sane. And of course, his training. Lovely job, Mossy Bottom, I envy your life.
For all the difficulties of my life these days, the one thing I can count on is a smile when i watch your life. I wish your ducks a long and healthy life. :)
LOVE the duck house design. I have Indian runner ducks. They absolutely love the water. I live on a lake and the runners spend more time in the water than on land. They are so happy in the water. Even with a huge source of water in the lake, new puddles or water from the hose on the ground is also irresistible to them. Couldn’t imagine keeping them without water. Wonderful homestead you have. Love your videos.
This guys voice is amazing, he could read me anything and I would have to listen. Some people put music on to sleep, I just put his video on... lol....
It is so fun to watch all these things that Mossy bottom I have an acre of land outside of Gervais Oregon United States the Ducks and the geese and the chickens and the ponies and the pigs it's like watching my life all over again
Loved seeing your runner ducks. The final shot with the cows in the background and the green rolling pastures was so beautiful. You are truly blessed. I am stuck in the city/suburb of Atlanta, Ga. in an apartment right now.We had a 1 acre homestead with a brick cottage that needed renovating, but we lived in it, and we paid cash and had a $6000 well put in for fresh water. Then my 2yr old grandson went into the hospital 2 weeks before Christmas 2yrs ago, and was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia . My daughter rented us an apartment so we could be near them during this trying time and help take care of our granddaughter who was 7yrs old at the time, while little Jackson started chemotherapy. We planned on staying for at least 3 or 4 months so we had all the electricity and gas cut off at our house and sold our heritage breed chickens. We knew we could restock when we came back home. Then one night we get a call from our neighbor, someone broke into our house and started a fire in the living room, and burnt our house down. It would just so happen, while we were going through the fear and heartbreak of dealing with Jackson's health and treatment, we had forgotten about our annual homeowner's insurance coming due. The bill was waiting for us at the post office as we had our mail held until we came back. Not having a house or car payment, and paying off the utilities and having them shut off, we thought we had nothing to worry about paying until we got back home. Of course, we were over 30 days late on the annual insurance payment, so they would not cover the fire. So now we are stuck living 2 and a half hours away in a big city area in an apartment, and I really miss growing my organic heirloom vegetables, and eating grass feed organic eggs from my heritage breed chickens. So, never take for granted how blessed you are to live on the land, raise your own food, and enjoy the beauty of animals and nature. I will never take it for granted if we ever get back.
bizzybee, So sorry to hear of your sad loss, and your words of advice at the end are to be taken seriously. I hope you and your family are doing better now?
I'm a watercolor painter and came across your video while looking for inspiration to paint nesting Canadian Geese. There's a bit of country in my soul, as that was my upbringing. Your ducks are charming and so are you!
What I love about your posts is how non-coercive they are. So many RUclips channels scream, "Like me!" And though I can see this channel is a way for you to have an income stream, there's an honesty and gentleness I don't see elsewhere. I don't feel like I'm being manipulated. And I'm inspired by your lifestyle choice without feeling that awful jealousy that washes over me while watching other like channels. Thank you for showing us your life - it looks like hard work, but doable and possible-not out of reach, you know?❤️ And these ducks are adorable!!!
All ducks Like water But it is not necessary IRD / Cayuga's / Khakis Need big pools even less .....Hell Cayuga ducks are a mountain Duck No ponds up there
I was born in a farm in Brazil, but now I live in Maine USA....We had lots of chickens, ducks and some geese too.....I love to see your videos....I cant wait to see your cottage, I visited Ireland a very long time ago and I loved the little cottages. Stay happy and healthy, Liuba
Aw, I once had a khaki Campbell! So beautiful! Sable brown, black feet and bill, green eyes. She was the only pet duck I’ve ever had that would stretch out on her side and love to be scratched. She rolled around just like a kitten!
Great video. Here in New Mexico, on the high desert, we don't have slug problems so much as ticks but letting the chickens out to free range during the day totally eliminates the ticks and all garden pests. Plus they fertilize the garden as they go. Natural, organic fertilizer and pest control! What could be better. Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration!
I've been drawing ducklings all well and stumbling on this video made me so happy. Spec to see them in the water, which I agree with you they love. Great work on the duck house. Love your videos. Thank you.
You chose wisely. I had Indian runners for three and s half years. I love them dearly. I just gave them away about a month ago😭But they went to go live at a wonderful farm with 50 acres in a 7 acre pond.!
2degucitas lol They are goofy looking but Yep they can swim great. They can fly to get away from predators also. But they do not do either as well as like a mallard. But they do fine. They are really wonderful ducks as you can tell from the video! They are really loving and just so much fun to have. And I believe they lay eggs through their entire life also? that is a bonus over a chicken. That’s what I was told but cannot confirm because they were 3 1/2 years old with many more years to go. My husband and I are going to be traveling for work and they are just big work to pay somebody to come and take care of.
Lee Michaels I have a question, can they free range and come back at night like chickens? I have a huge garden but no enclosures, my chickens just roam everywhere and come back because they know that their home is the chicken coop, do ducks do the same or they might just fly away or run away?
Thanks for providing some good tips about duck raising. I had the good fortune of having a couple of duck friends a few years ago, and you are so right about their timid nature. They'd stop by my house every day for a pan of fresh water, and we would hang out together for a while. Very affectionate, very emotional. I miss them every day since we moved. I'm so glad you 'get' them :-)
When I lived in Kenya, I had a large flock of runner ducks. They are charming creatures and prolific egg layers. I really enjoyed this video, it is sweet and gentle; a lovely introduction to runners.
I figured when I saw he ducks on Intagram that a new video wouldn't be far behind. The ducks are much more personable (for lack of a better term) than I thought they would be. Nice to see a new video and look forward to the cottage restoration.
A very clever duck house and lovely ducks! The thing I like about ducks around the gardens, is that they aren't nearly as destructive to plants while they forage for bugs and slugs ;) Thank you for sharing with us!
So glad you have the ducks quality of life at heart..u look after your animals well...Arrh s cute in the water area. They love swimming and ducking under the water,so delightful to see.
It is pure joy to watch your videos and see just how beautiful and simple life can be attained with hard work and dedication. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
Your footage is evident Indian runner ducks absolutely need the water !! It was a delight seeing them in the river at the bottom of your land for the first time, so happy. So natural for them to just jump in and play and clean themselves ☺️.
Great to see you back..please don't leave as long again. Can feel my heart rate slow down, as I chill watching. Continued good luck to you, and everything you are doing.
They sure do love the water, don’t they? Thanks for sharing part of your journey with us, it gives me such piece and inspiration, watching your little family! Know it’s way over used, and has become almost meaningless, but from the bottom of my heart, I wish great contentment and a long wonderful life, in which to enjoy it!
I’ve missed your videos so much! I know winters are wet over there and it was probably hard to keep filming, but you’ve been missed my friend. Love your little ducks! I’ve been thinking about getting some when we move. Hoping for a sweet bed and breakfast with land to market garden and room for a few animals. Keeping you in my prayers.
New subscriber here from Pennsylvania! :) LOVE your pup and those sweet ducks!! :) I was smiling and laughing watching them swim around in the water...they looked SO HAPPY! :) Thank you for sharing your beautiful life! :)
Loved the way nugget took his head out of the bottle a few times and looked at the bottle sideways from the outside to see how much food was left...seems intelligent! Love your place and animal...so peaceful. A great way to live. Thank you for sharing :)
AHHhhhhh, SoooOOOooo nice to see your EVER-SMILING face again! WHAT 'JOY' you exude young man! You make me pine for having some land of my own! WELL DONE! Your intelligent, well-researched, decisions and the GENUINE LOVE, you put into all you do...are so VERY 'Evident'! If I were a DUCK or any animal on your farm, I would feel as though I ended up in a 'Garden of Eden'! HEART, HEART, HEART! You place yourself as though into the very animal you incorporate, considering practicality, budget, safety for; animal, yourself and from predators . Materials are wisely chosen, environment at the forefront. TRULY, this is both; entertaining and informative. I realize, and though only in part, that you have much to consider, but it would make a good guide to format these videos into book form. I pray for your well-being 'Mossy Bottom' and look forward to following videos. Due keep SMILING...it ails all that is not! God Bless you!
Thank you for this video. I have had ducks for years, some of them lived for years. At this point we have two 12 year old runner ducks and 5 young runners, two drakes and three ducks. We live in a northern part of Canada so winters are an issue. I loved seeing your duck house and the cleaning solution. Will use that. We have a serious predator problem so unless we are with them they must be protected by pens made of 1/2" metal mesh with NO gaps. In the winter they need heat. Runners are so delightful and your video really was a wonderful illustration of that! Thanks again!
Some years ago I lived in mid Wales and had 6 Khaki Campbells: they were the nicest animals I've ever kept! My neighbours used to encourage them into their gardens to eat the slugs! And I regularly got over 300 eggs a year. Thanks for your little video, I have tears of nostalgia in my eyes!
So hearty, so full of life, so grounded and structured that makes it amazingly actionable and willing to make my farm dreams come true faster. Thank you for caring for ducks, means tons for me
Very nice video Lovely peaceful nature Thanks for your video I lived in Ireland as a youngster & still remains as the happiest time of my life Just the air,landscape & everyone was so nice Take care
I’ve kept a couple of runner ducks myself and they are absolutely adorable, it’s lovely to see the fun they have in water and their eggs are so clean and velvety.
Watching your video is quite inspiring. You are so wonderful to these ducks & understand their behavior & what they need.. I was watching other Indian Runner videos and most people don’t understand these ducks & how to care for them. Ducks have deep pools with no way for them to get in. They chase them to get their attention but as you say their shy. Out of many videos there were only 3, including yours that actually knew how to care for this type of duck. You treat these little guys like your pets. Very nice
when I was a kid I found eggs under a dock by a river and put them in my dads incubator and we hatched and raised wild ducks along side our chickens free range
Thank you for this! I almost always have my breakfast of eggs and garden veggies sitting in front of a RUclips video or two and this one made me smile... a lot. I wish I could have ducks, but I can't deal with the preditors where I live in SE Texas USA, namely rat snakes, coyotes, bobcats, and our own species of fox. I would cry a river if I lost a duck or a chicken. So, yes, thanks again because I love to see success stories and happy animals. ;)
I LOVE NUGGET!! Darcy and the other one are really sweet but Nugget is awesome. Love your new video. It's been a long time since we saw your place. You look so grand. This life suits you. Love the duck house, so practical. Awesome design. Those duck eggs will fetch a nice price or barter. Most Excellent. Great editing. Hope to see you again real soon. 🦋🐞🦋
I don’t have a farm or ducks, but live amidst the orchards and farms of the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. I so agree - we need nature like the ducks need water. You have created a sweet space with your animal companions. Thank you for a beautiful video !
They are so adorable! I miss my Runners. My Cayuga duck and one of my Pekins went broody and are expecting babies in the next couple of weeks, and several of my sneaky hens have hatched out chicks this spring and summer. I love your duck house! PS: All waterfowl need water!
I just discovered your channel last night and have been binge-watching. I can totally identify with your sense of urgency to get away from "civilization". And you're absolutely adorable! Excellent job on all of your projects and so tickled for you!
That's so lovely. So weird too. I was just talking to a friend yesterday about runner ducks. Very timely. Love the way you have done your research but still go by your instinct and treat your animal companions with so much compassion. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.

@@shaash5236 It's only work if you don't enjoy doing it. It's leisure when you do.
Ducks are the fiercest predators of snails and slugs, but they don’t destroy the greens and they even fertilize them. Perfect pest control
@Antonio Jutronic can confirm! my runners love eating them
My ducks LOVE slugs. I also love them; I find them super cute. :( They are less cute when they destroy my squash. So I gotta choose!

You chose wisely. I had Indian runners for three and s half years. I love them dearly. I just gave them away about a month ago😭But they went to go live at a wonderful farm with 50 acres in a 7 acre pond.!
Can they swim? Their body seems the wrong shape.

I pray for your well-being 'Mossy Bottom' and look forward to following videos. Due keep SMILING...it ails all that is not! God Bless you!
What a lovely comment! Thanks ever so much for your support! :)
then he better not make the mistake made there!
You and your videos are so charming and informative. This is one of my very favorite channels, and I'm so glad you're back.
Howdy from South Texas. Great video and some really good Tips. Enjoyed it.
Thank you for this video. I have had ducks for years, some of them lived for years. At this point we have two 12 year old runner ducks and 5 young runners, two drakes and three ducks. We live in a northern part of Canada so winters are an issue. I loved seeing your duck house and the cleaning solution. Will use that. We have a serious predator problem so unless we are with them they must be protected by pens made of 1/2" metal mesh with NO gaps. In the winter they need heat. Runners are so delightful and your video really was a wonderful illustration of that! Thanks again!
Love seeing your videos again always a pleasure. The ducks are just wonderful and yes they love that little stream ❤️🦆🦆🦆
Such a precious video! Thank you so much for sharing your life. Loved the 'bloopers' at the end.
Wonderful video. And loved the out takes. lol Very interesting how you raised the ducks and their environment. Beautiful! :)
Some years ago I lived in mid Wales and had 6 Khaki Campbells: they were the nicest animals I've ever kept! My neighbours used to encourage them into their gardens to eat the slugs! And I regularly got over 300 eggs a year. Thanks for your little video, I have tears of nostalgia in my eyes!
Ohhh kayy
I was just thinking about you t'other day. So peaceful watching you. Thanks. Xxxx
I love, love, love the bloopers. Moss is the bestest pup ever!
Blessed are the peacemakers...🕊
So hearty, so full of life, so grounded and structured that makes it amazingly actionable and willing to make my farm dreams come true faster. Thank you for caring for ducks, means tons for me
Ha! Love the out-takes at the end. Keep up the great work absolutely inspiring.
Very nice video
Lovely peaceful nature
Thanks for your video
I lived in Ireland as a youngster & still remains as the happiest time of my life
Just the air,landscape & everyone was so nice
Take care
Love the calming effect you exude my friend.. God bless you
I’ve kept a couple of runner ducks myself and they are absolutely adorable, it’s lovely to see the fun they have in water and their eggs are so clean and velvety.
What a bright, good man,
Watching your video is quite inspiring. You are so wonderful to these ducks & understand their behavior & what they need.. I was watching other Indian Runner videos and most people don’t understand these ducks & how to care for them. Ducks have deep pools with no way for them to get in. They chase them to get their attention but as you say their shy. Out of many videos there were only 3, including yours that actually knew how to care for this type of duck. You treat these little guys like your pets. Very nice
You've been gone too long! So happy that you're back. The ducks are adorable.
"Like ducks to water " as they say! Lucky ducks! Thankyou for this and all your videos.!🐌🐌🐌
when I was a kid I found eggs under a dock by a river and put them in my dads incubator and we hatched and raised wild ducks along side our chickens free range
Thank you for this! I almost always have my breakfast of eggs and garden veggies sitting in front of a RUclips video or two and this one made me smile... a lot. I wish I could have ducks, but I can't deal with the preditors where I live in SE Texas USA, namely rat snakes, coyotes, bobcats, and our own species of fox. I would cry a river if I lost a duck or a chicken. So, yes, thanks again because I love to see success stories and happy animals. ;)
I LOVE NUGGET!! Darcy and the other one are really sweet but Nugget is awesome. Love your new video. It's been a long time since we saw your place. You look so grand. This life suits you. Love the duck house, so practical. Awesome design. Those duck eggs will fetch a nice price or barter. Most Excellent. Great editing. Hope to see you again real soon. 🦋🐞🦋

I don’t have a farm or ducks, but live amidst the orchards and farms of the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. I so agree - we need nature like the ducks need water. You have created a sweet space with your animal companions. Thank you for a beautiful video !
They are so adorable! I miss my Runners. My Cayuga duck and one of my Pekins went broody and are expecting babies in the next couple of weeks, and several of my sneaky hens have hatched out chicks this spring and summer. I love your duck house! PS: All waterfowl need water!
I just discovered your channel last night and have been binge-watching. I can totally identify with your sense of urgency to get away from "civilization". And you're absolutely adorable! Excellent job on all of your projects and so tickled for you!
I want to see an hour video of those adorable ducks. Amazing video, thank you.
I enjoy your videos very much. You make envious of your peaceful pastoral lifestyle.
The place is looking up, and your flock is growing. Love the ducks.
Peace.
That's so lovely. So weird too. I was just talking to a friend yesterday about runner ducks. Very timely. Love the way you have done your research but still go by your instinct and treat your animal companions with so much compassion. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.
