I agree and when they're adults they literally turn their heads backwards and put it on their back it's pretty cute but it looks a little weird at first glance
I'm a poultry farmer as well and that genius notion of using chick feeders as waterers is amazing! Just a note on Indian Runner ducks, I adopted one lonely 1 day old duckling (named Dhoop) and raised her inside as a house pet (pet house ducks are actually more common than one might think!) and because I spent so much time with her she's honestly the best, most loyal and caring friend I've ever had. I've had dogs in the past and she's honestly way more cuddly, loving and defensive of me then they ever were! Keep up the good work and keep on uploading such great content, thank you for all that you do!
My wife and I have an empty nest so we are beginning a *real* flock. We have several acres to play on so we're trying out several breeds of chickens and we grabbed a few ducks while we were at it. And, now all I want to do is go out and play with my birds~ I would highly recommend keeping a flock for those suffering from real depression. Sure, bad things happen and you'll have to dispatch a bird now and then. But, as long as you're ready for that eventuality, the delight and happiness far outweigh the sad and nasty! I enjoy your videos! Fun, and informative. Release the Quacken!! XOXO.
You’ve saved us bird newbies again! I’m on my first small flock, you helped me so much in the beginning and now reiterating things for more people helps them in the long run!! Some people don’t think of the long term and your videos and advice are spot on!! 👍🏻
I love Welsh Harlequins! They are on my list to have some day. Right now we have Runner ducks and a lone Khaki Campbell named Coco. Our Runners are very good layers too.
I have both and our welsh harlequins are the least friendly. It might be like dogs. Generally the breed contributes to certain qualities, but each duck/dog is unique and their life growing up shapes them.
Fantastic tutorial! Goslings are the most precious babies you will ever hold or keep. My oldest (38 now) calls them WeeeWeees and 8 years later my older birds still come to that call. She's a 5th generation goose keeper now! Exactly right if you treat your goslings like a kitten or puppy - a pet, they are awesome.
I’ve been watching ur videos for over a year. Today my kid showed up at home wirh 4 baby ducks. No seriously. Purchase by some other kid at tractor supply. Now w shave to find them a home Becuse they can’t stay at my home. This video was helpful we will get them some grass tonight. Thanks.
I’m only 10 but I would love to own ducks. My parents aren’t overjoyed with the idea of ducks especially because we are moving houses in a week or so. I have done a lot of research and enjoy watching your videos. I am hoping to get around three female white Pekin ducklings. If there’s any tips to help my parents be more appealed to the idea of owning ducks, please tell me! Love your channel btw!!
Show them how cute they are as ducklings, and how fun it is to watch them (even as adults) play in the water, how good the eggs are (great for baking), and all the research you've done
maybe start with why your parents not allowing you to own ducks. it could be from spacing area, it could be from how responsible you are, or it could be from money/fund wise. just by Morgan explanation in this video, owning a duck is a lot of work and money to provide their daily necessity. after talking about the reason why with your parents, and either get rejected/accepted then talk to your parents with research data from owning ducks like: money spend for the ducks, how much it needs spacing and housing and maybe you could entice them with profit that came from them like eggs or maybe their feces as compost. you can calculate them all and maybe could sell those in a couple of weeks after they became full fledge adult. it would be amazing if you could start business and have some experience in raising live stock. so yeah cheers! hope you can own them either as pets or live stock!
@@cinnabar_ Great advice. Before getting my Yorkie puppy (Rosie) I would talk to my parents about it, and if they found an issue or something, I would research it and tell them how I could fix that you know? And, @Stella Becker , I would join BYC (BackYard Chickens). They have lots of info on not only chickens, but ducks, swans, quail, ect. My username is EverythingDucks if you want to contact me there I can help. It's a great site with tons of info. I would suggest reading the sticky tread in the duck forum on niacin deficiency, a lot of young ducks (namely Pekins) die from this. Any questions you may have you can leave there, and there're tons of people that can help.
Do you have to pay to sign up or anything? I read people’s convos on there all the time and it helps a lot with my questions, and I’ve wanted to sign up but not if you need to pay
I have been planning to start a small duck farm for eggs mostly ......maybe meat eventually. Your channel has been a one stop shop for all of the questions i had down to the nitty gritty. Thank you sir!
You are such a good speaker Morgan and you give great advice and tips and I really hope you appreciate how much we appreciate you. I’m going to recommend you to everybody I can you might be interested in starting up weather is just raising a few chickens or ducks or actually starting a farm. You are the most caring and educational person out there that I’ve seen on RUclips and I just love you
I‘ve become a regular visitor to a nearby pond with ducks and both Grey and Nile Geese and a family of very tame nutrias. And one very mean swan. I used to mostly ignore the waterfowl in the past, but now I love watching them. They’re very chatty and industrious animals and have certainly contributed, to making me feel less lonely, these past couple of week’s. I really hope, I‘ll be in a position, to keep some myself at some point in the future.
@@GoldShawFarm probably 7-8 months ago i found was walking along an almost dried up dam when a family of ducks had just ran away from me, anyways when i got to where they ran away i found the smallest duckling stuck because it couldn't get past a bit of dirt because it was so small. If i left it there it would have died within a day {constant 40+ degree days} so i took it home and cared and loved it for a week until one day it passed away and it absolutely broke me, so i went on YT and started watching duck videos and got hooked, and your channel was one of the ones i found {i think you were at about 10k lol} and after watching your videos for a couple of weeks i decided to get 2 ducklings and try again {they were pekin} and that brings me to current day many months later, so i just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to try it again they are honestly some of the best animals i own and without your videos i never would have got them, Thank You!
Gold Shaw Farm You’re very welcome! However, I want to thank you for your time and imagination. You bring character not only to this platform but right into my home!! God bless y’all!
I always find my waterfowl so amusing. When they are babies, they love to be near you and be held. Then, when they grow up, they behave like you're a chainsaw wielding maniac out to destroy them, lol.
I've got goslings hatching now-2 here&waiting on 8 others to arrive.Collecting duck eggs now to go in incubator next.This is my favorite time of year.Even tho I do what you do,I thoroughly enjoy your videos-I know I'm not alone.Thank you.....
Mine love, love goose grass & chickweed along with their dandelion greens. I started them at about 3 weeks. I wish I had known I could have started them earlier.
I always try to think about what they would be exposed to if Mama had hatched them out and raised them. They would be on grass by just a day or so old!
My cayugas just hit 8 weeks and they don't want affection but they know me as the "food lady" and will happily eat from my hands. They have gotten to the point that if they want something and they see me they quack as loud as they can until they get greens or some fresh mealworms, hah. They have some adorable personalities.
We are getting our first gosling today! Great video! We love our farm birds. We have raised ducks, pigeons, quail chickens and pheasant. I think is amazing how they are all so different.
My goslings love watermelon rinds in addition to their greens. My buff geese hatched three eggs on their own plus I have six goslings from a hatchery that are being raised by a tufted Roman who adopted them.
Tips: 1. Warmth, 2. Water management, 3. Provide grit, 4. Grass and greens, outdoor exposure, 5. Spend time with them depending on breed, 6. Have a plan.
I had seen your videos in the past and just recently was looking into getting ducks and you popped up again. Super informative video for someone like myself. Thanks!
I had Muscovys and they laid every day. But I used to hug them too. Apparently that can be a factor. Although my flock only consisted of two ducks. If I had twenty or thirty ducks and geese, I don't think that hugging them would quite so practical. Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. בס״ד
I just got some baby Rouen ducklings. I reallllly appreciated this video(especially about the water, I have that exact red container and am cleaning their brooder2 times a day!!!). I'm hoping they will be my sweet babies. I have been talking to them and holding them as much as possible. Hopefully they will be friendly and not skiddish..
what kind of ducklings did you get? i’m thinking about buying a few goslings and I am so excited! I once had a goose imprint on me (he was my neighbors goose, his mate had died) and every time I came outside he would come running towards me. he would sit on me, block traffic after attempting to follow when i got on the bus in the morning, and would wait outside my house for me. it was the sweetest thing ever. a farm lady took him to her farm and i wish they had told me the name of their farm so i could visit him. I named him Elmer because he looked like an elmers glue bottle.
@@kristacalai9773 I got 3 pekins but they are hard to take care of I had to let them sleep in my room for the first 3 weeks because they would start to cry when I left them alone
This makes me feel better, this afternoon we found a gosling in my pool and on my cameras I saw he was swimming for over 4 hours I took him to the vet, but sadly he passed when we got there
I noticed your captions are too short in time, I can’t ever read them the first time, I have replay it at least 3 times, anyway this can be fixed in future videos? Just a thought. Love your videos, they’re relaxing.
Just got some goslings and tbh I really wasn't expecting to actually get any this year so I was alittle unprepared... buttt so far they seem to be doing pretty well. This info it very helpful for a first time owner of Goslings... lol
Thank you for this video. Im a newbie to geese and getting my first goslings this week. Will be keeping them inside until it gets warmer. We are located in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
i have to say i do agree, i hate using those bottles for water cause when our 2 runner ducks were little they made such a mess, they somehow got their bedding all through the water and water in the bedding, and that was like 5 minutes after we put them in so thanks for the tip i'll definitely try that in the future when i get my own ducks.
I just wanted to say that you are an exceptional narrator. I wonder if the stories that you tell could be rendered into a book. I would buy it. All the best fellow New Englander. I’m in Western Massachusetts in the mountains.
Hey Morgan! This might be a far fetched idea, but if you have enough income from your farm, you could consider doing work/farming holidays, a lot of people love to just help out for just a bed and a meal! I know this is a thing in several countries, (especially bio farms). But I think it would be a cool thing for your farm as well, as it grows, and more work starts to present itself. C:
We've just hatched our first brood of Indian Runners so this video is super useful. Will definitely implement some of those tips, at the moment the brooder gets pretty stinky...... Thanks for sharing your experiences!
💗 Still have the desire for ducks or geese to graze and enjoy the 3/4 acre pond we have! Just working out the logistics of it since I can't fence the entire pond. Issues and problems still being worked out. I have caught some of Mike Dickson's vlogs where his are semi-free ranged. A head-scratcher for sure!
I devised a water drain system to let water flow out of the brooding area and keeping the floor clean and water free. Get a couple washing machine drain pans and put in shower drains. Then cut a hole in the floor of the broader, place where pan over the hole.
As a Vermonter, summer is a fleeting two months starting in June and ending in the beginning of August. But if you live near Lake Champlain those summers are gorgeous. Lots of good places to hike around here with no billboards. It’s gorgeous and worth the wait
I like to tie up the clumps of grass tightly at the base and hang it up so they can rip at it. Also introduce treats early, chopped vegies are great and I give mine cooked rice in a bowl of water which they love. And yes those waters suck for mess 😣
Great tips! 👍 I'm currently incubating my first ever duck eggs (khaki Campbell pekin mixes) that are due in about 15 days. Looking forward to it! Ours are basically for pets and eggs 😅
The baby goslings sleeping with their head down is the cutest thing ♥️
i agreee
Yeaaaaaaa
Also cuddling together
I agree and when they're adults they literally turn their heads backwards and put it on their back it's pretty cute but it looks a little weird at first glance

I saw Toby wadding in the pond. Does he ever go swimming there?
Thank you for the 101 mr ❤
Thx so much from sunny south africa! Great video 🥰
When will summer come in Vermont?
Good question!
@@GoldShawFarm We are in the capital region in New York. It just snowed here as well! Winter isn't leaving!
As a Vermonter, summer is a fleeting two months starting in June and ending in the beginning of August. But if you live near Lake Champlain those summers are gorgeous. Lots of good places to hike around here with no billboards. It’s gorgeous and worth the wait
We Vermonters have to be very very patient.
I like to tie up the clumps of grass tightly at the base and hang it up so they can rip at it.
Also introduce treats early, chopped vegies are great and I give mine cooked rice in a bowl of water which they love.
And yes those waters suck for mess 😣
Great tips! 👍 I'm currently incubating my first ever duck eggs (khaki Campbell pekin mixes) that are due in about 15 days. Looking forward to it! Ours are basically for pets and eggs 😅
