Hi Daniel, put a camera collar on Bear, see what he’s doing. If other critters are getting your ducks he should be warding them off. Good luck!
I agree with put a camera on Bear....
You might find out who hurt Earl too. 🦊
Trail cam
@@MyLordLives777 I think they pretty much figured out Bear was fighting over food so got him fixed, there was some blood on Bear. But, you never know what they could catch on camera!!
@@anneburdette6037 I guess I’d like to give bear the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes the innocent are blamed by circumstances
Poor Bear, he gets blamed for everything! lol
If Bear hasn't bothered the chickens I doubt if he's bothered the ducks. Poor 🐻.
If it were bear, he wouldnt have brought a body to daddy the other day. If its not a predator, you have tresspasser stealing your ducks for food
If I had to guess based on dog breed, I would watch Earl more closely around the ducks.
I'd actually suspect Earl as well. His breed is a bird hunting one and he seems to display interest in them sometimes. It might explain injuries with him too
I am so glad you said this, as this is my thought too about Earl. Hence why I think maybe Bear attacked Earl to protect his (Bear's) flock.
You can see it in the video, Earl was chasing the ducks a few times and Daniel didn't see it or acknowledge it.
Esrl is a mutt and with these designer dogs you can never really predict which behaviours will predominate
Ditto
I was thinking it was Earl also because how he reacts with the ducks and baby goats. I hope that’s not the case.
I feel sorry for Bear. Once he got in trouble that first time he seems to have a target on him.
Bear was completely innocent!!!!!
@@tomjerome2877 That's funny. I think he always looks guilty AF.
@@tomjerome2877 I think he is as well ♥️
I wonder if Bear caught Earl going after the ducks or chickens (you have video taped Earl chasing the ducks!) and went after him protecting the poultry? Poor Bear, I truly think he is innocent of any wrong doing!
My husband lost ducks years ago and blamed the dog. Found out he lost them to some wild minks. I like the way you talk to the critters. I do the same with my critters.
Check your property for owl sign. Big problem for outdoor fowl at night.
The Hurd is looking good 👍 poor bear he gets blamed for everything lol. Y'all have fun 😊😊😊
Don’t know if earl is in the house while y’all are away but keep in mind he is part bird dog.
he isn't part bird dog he is full bird dog, both Irish setters and poodles are technically bird dogs.
You should get the foster & smith dog cam. It's solar and battery-powered and hooks up to your cellphone service. It's around 1.5 to 2k dollars and mounts on the dog's neck and chest. Put it on Bear. You can see what he sees and talk to him through its speaker if he's misbehaving, I have one on all three of my labradors and one on my Turkish coon hound and I'm thinking about starting a RUclips channel of their solo mischief adventures. lol
Please do start the channel, animal lovers would love it.
Don't think about doing it DO IT!🙂
I don't think Bear is guilty of the recent duck losses, or the attack on the other male dog.
I don't think Bear is guilty either!
He is thinking it's Bear because he found Bear with a dead duck in his mouth. I am hoping it isn't Bear though.
LSG' are not known to chase or kill birds, it's very rare or accidental. Most of the time when a waterfowl is found dead and in an LSG's mouth is from being stepped on or kicked by a horse, goat, or cow. My ducks over the years have died to trauma from being kicked or stepped by livestock and my dogs would do what dogs do when they find a dead animal. Bear & Earl that's another thing, if you have a hyper rambunctious dog like Earl being fed near a dominant unfixed male dog like Bearl it was only a matter of time before something will happen. Earl is cute but kinda goofy lol.
Bear could be or might not, i remember a while back ya'll had some eagles nesting and they cover a pretty large area so that's a possibility too
Don't believe Bear is killing the Ducks. Keep your eye on Earl, he seems to be more aggressive. Also, could be Racoons or Coyotes.
Foxes are just as bad!
Owls too!!
I do not think it is bear coyote bobcat raccoon more likely!!!
If it is coyore watch out for the baby goats!!!!
Seems like a raccoon family moved in first earls injuries n now the ducks. It’ll be the chickens next when there’s no eggs around. Raccoons are horrible when it comes to trying to protect ducks and if earl cornered one definitely explains his injuries to the face n under side. Coyotes are bad but a bigger predator would of done more damage and would of attacked from the front. I think bear chased off the raccoon before it could take the duck away. Then bear took the dead duck to show dad what happened.
If the ducks have a regular sleep area trail cameras might help you learn how the ducks are getting killed.
@@sohotimhot7975 so sick of you being everywhere I go. go somewhere else.
Hi Dan, When you had the camera on the hay forks looking back at the cab. The tractor had the look of a spider. Too bad about the ducks, the 2 older dogs ignored them. If it was a predator, the animals and dogs would have raised a fuss. After seeing this video, Earl went after the ducks a couple of times.
I really love the way that your children tell you that they love you and that you do the same when you drop them off. The cows really are nice looking. I hope Bear is not hurting the ducks. It's a hard think to break. Weston really is a good basketball player and he does shoot nice 3 pointers. Have a great week 😀 😊 ☺️ ☺️
I think Earl is the dog to watch with the ducks. Always enjoy getting to see you do your chores, love all the animals.
Actually I like when you say “ common goats” please don’t give up☺️ that is your trademark
Bear isn't killing or hurting any thing. He Isa great dog. His instincts are so good.
Oh goodness, why does it look like Weston has aged like 5 years… with tats and all! Love that you get to support him in his athletics in college.
Been hitting the weight room
We are in the same boat, over the last two weeks we have lost a lot of ducks, I am putting up a trail cam to see whats going on
I would think that if it was Bear you would be missing chickens too. ❤️🇺🇸
Hello Edna
Mr. Ralph, a GSD, herded the ducks to and from mom's pond. He didn't protect them 24/7. Have a 7+ month old female GSD in first heat. She's very protective. She's very juvenile. She barks at everything. Not aggressive. Love Bear...
Looks like you need to have your game cameras pointed at the livestock.
sounds like a fox or coyote making easy meals of the quack pack. If Bear was guilty, he'd have done it long ago, huh? I liked the view from the cab of the tractor! Good seeing all the family
Hello Melissa
I love how you make sure that your animals are fed well & are safe! You're very efficient and hard working. I honestly don't think that Bear is killing the ducks. He just brought the dead one over, to show his Daddy that it died. My guess would be you've got a sneaky coyote, hawk or eagle hunting them. I love how you & DEEJAY love your children & support them, with their interests.
The best thing you could do is put a camera on him or set up game cameras around your pens.
Hi Daniel. Hopefully you find the ducks safe and good. 🤞
Thanks for sharing your videos and be safe and healthy plus your family.
I had a couple of ducks and a fox helped himself to one of them. They are easy pickin's. I can't believe it is Bear. Considering how the other little dog (sorry, don't remember his name) kept chasing the ducks on the video. I would suspect that little one chased the ducks off or worse. But it seems for whatever the reason, you or wife want to blame Bear first thing. Others have mentioned hawks, that too is a possibility since there is no trace - no blood, no bones, no blood.
Probably is hawks. They love to take Lester's ducks too.
My thought too.
Owls, hawks, eagles, weasels, minks, skunks, foxes, coyotes, bobcats- not sure if you have all of these critters in OK, but we have all of the above in New England.
When my late neighbor had birds disappearing, he put up a camera, because it could have been any nocturnal creature, except for the predator birds because it was getting in the coop! Turned out, it was a fox who would dig under the fencing, open the coop door (!) and help himself. Another night, the cam caught an owl taking a wild duck (he had a pond so it attracted wild ducks). Another night it was a raccoon, trying to get into the chicken coop, but he wasn't very good at it and got 'treed' by his hound dog. (I can still hear the barking in my head). We also have Fisher Cats in New England, who sometimes kill many birds, but only take one with them; nasty critters.
On another YT channel I watch, the owner had a terrible night when something got inside his duck coop and killed many ducks; it looked like a massacre. He did have small cracks in between some of the floor boards and wall boards, but not big enough for a coon, a bobcat etc. Then it happened again; the ducks left were bloody and in shock, didn't even quack and had clearly fought with the predator. While he was making a video about it, he noticed his barn cat sitting near the back of the coop and staring at it. He checked it out and didn't see anything, but the cat wouldn't stop staring at the area. The owner went in the coop, and found a weasel living in the wall INSIDE the coop. He felt sick when he realized that his ducks were literally "sitting ducks" as they had been trapped inside with the predator.
Lesson learned! But no blood, no carnage means it's probably a bird. When my neighbor fortified his coop (and he made a duck coop too), I told him about this mesh-like material that could cover the whole area/yard. I think it's called bird netting; my dad used to use it to keep the birds away from his berry bushes/plants, because the birds would get to the berries before we even had a chance to pick them! Works great for "aerial attacks"! Blessings--LL101
I'm betting a coyote.. first Earl got attacked and now birds are getting whacked.. I think Bear is doing what he's supposed to and chasing the yote off.. probably a lone young male coyote.
Looks like Earl was showing an interest in going after the ducks.
Exactly. I saw that too
I mean he is a bird dog... poodle and lab or retriever whatever he’s mixed with are bred to go after ducks
@@judy3460 Poodles are a water hunting breed.
@@rudycasias Poodles are a hunting breed in France.
I saw that too, and believe Earl was responsible for the disappearances. He is bred to be a duck hunting dog after all.
Ah, don't quit calling "C'mon goats" I've actually got mine to come running when I holler that. It's cool!
And this time of year is big for arial predators. The hawks and eagles are on the move. My flock does a lot of free ranging and the roosters are very much on the job to keep the hens from going out when there are shadows in the sky.
I bet you got an owl or a fox hanging around. I had an owl get 4 of my ducks
You could be losing duck's to foxes or even wolves.
Racoons or hogs
Coyotes
Have you thought about getting a collar camera for bear? That way he could prove his innocence or not lol.
I don’t think Bear did it. He looked proud to bring you your duck. I’m thinking he took it away from the predator and chased it off. I think he would have gifted the others to you as well if he could but in this case they were taken
I don't know what it is but I love low water crossings! And y'all's Creek it's so pretty! And if bear is the one killing the ducks. He would have to have eaten them both with the feathers and all. So the evidence of that will come out the other end. If you get my drift!!
You might want to set up your trail camsaround the pins and see what’s going on
If you don't see feathers and they are gone that is strange.
bobcat would be fast ariel attack on too
What a BEAUTIFUL Oklahoma sunrise!!!❤️❤️❤️
A camera in different areas where Bear is should capture him in action if hes the culprit. Weston is a great ball player. Hes just going to better with confidence familiarity with college. God Bless and keep you all safe.
Love hearing you tell the kiddies you love them when you drop them off. It may not seem like it but they will always remember that small effort from you.
You tricked me! I was expecting the tractor to be gone! 😒😒😒
Hope Bear is not responsible for ducks disappearing. I think you have a predator and Bear chased them away before they left with the other duck. Weston was doing good in that game. Love watching the clips of his games. Take care and stay warm. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
I think he needs a couple trail cams out there to figure it out. I hope it's not Bear lol
This is how a well organized farm system should look like. Work smart, not hard.
@@sohotimhot7975 Take your porn offers off of this family channel!
You may be losing your ducks to hawks, owls or possibly a bobcat. My daughter-in-law has quail in town and posted some facebook video of a hawk trying to get her quail and she lives in town. Fortunately they were securely fastened in their coop.
I agree I think there is a hawk or an owl lurking around .
@@sohotimhot7975 Geez! You’ve got the wrong channel to peddle your porn offers. You’ve been reported to RUclips.
Hawks are bad . They killed alot of our chickens, guineas n ducks! Alot of the babies!
Every time I hear you say, "come on goats" I think of Lester's impression video. 🤣🤣
You have great videos! Could you put the ducks up in the barn for a few nights? You keep all of your equipment very clean. Always looks so nice.
Maintenance Day! We all have them one way or another! Part of life! Always watching these homesteaders do their chores is so interesting. Love to see all the animals too. Our country is in serious mess and will most likely get worse. Rumors of wars are scary. Our Faith must be strong!
Man I like that closed in cab tractor👍
You should consider putting some M10 gravel under the shed. It packs tight and no dust.
Looks like to me you got a bird-of-prey situation missing any chickens. Bear probably scared it off the first time
So does my husband. If it was possible to pressure wash the interior of our cars he would. He does a awesome job detailing. I am proud of the job he does he says it can be better
I'm sorry you keep losing your ducks. Hope no more disappears. Tell Houston I said hello.
TRAIL CAMS. Wrong time of year for ducks to nest. I’ve had owls 🦉 take ducks at night. Fox and mink have taken them in early morning. I watched a fox 🦊 take a chicken before my Great Pyrenees could get up from a laying down position. Sly as a fox! Watch where the ducks lay down for the night and sneak out to put a trail cam on them after dark. Would make a great vlog.
Put some game cameras in the pasture and a bear mounted go pro would be cool to see what predators he stops my guess is you have a bobcat problem
You’re so cute washing your tractor. Such a guy!🤣
Hey Daniel thanks for sharing your daily adventures while you are doing various things from farm, to outdoors fishing hunting and all around cool stuff. Have a Blessed day and Happy New Year Brother, from a Older Retired Federal LEO
@@sohotimhot7975 oh, give it a rest. Every time I see your nasty little messages I report you. Eventually you'll be banned.
Here in Sweden raising pheasants we use spruce trees to protect them from flying predators as hawks and for bird resting place. We can also top the trees if we want free sight and they only grow really wide as a low café umbrella. For foxes and such we have electric fences. But is it your own "predators" then you always will find gathered feathers and some remains at the "slaughtering" place. Want to know? Put up game camera!
I don't think those ducks are off sitting on nests especially with the one making all that racket calling for it's Buddy I'm not sure what's going on I hope you come down to figure out what's going on with it thank you for the video
Hurray for Weston!!!
He's really a good shot!!
Anyways, i sincerely hope the other duck shows up.
Those wandering ducks were originally eight(8) in number..
Yeah I agree Daniel you should put a camera on bear's collar and you couldn't see what critters are eating your ducks or maybe formaybe it froze yes I'm subscribed to your channel
Daniel be yourself. You have your way of 📞 and 🔊 to your animals and "Longhorn" Lester has his...
I don’t think it’s Bear. He’s the protector. He may have carried the dead duck to you after something else got after it.
Thanks for taking us along on all you're doing. Hope ducks are sitting somewhere. Hope ya'll have a bless evening. Love you guys.
I was glad to see you clean up your tractor. If you convince Kent to sell that '78 F-150 Ford short bed, you'll need to keep it in pristine condition. That tractor does look good and sure helps you with all of the work you need to do on the farm.
How are EmmaLee and Houston doing with their show Herefords? Your mini Herefords sure look good. I hope the missing ducks mystery can be solved. Thanks for sharing the footage from Weston's basketball game as well as life on the AFH.
Did you happen to see what Hidden Heights Farm did too their hay feeders? They lined them with smaller stock wire to keep down on the waste. They like it because the animals were wasting so much before and now they aren't. You can check it out on their site. He welded them in place. God bless.
I was like your daughter not a morning person and getting up for school was the impossible. But mom made sure I graduated lol.
The tractor looks good Daniel good job cleaning it like your video's
Put up some games cameras and find out for shore what's happening to your ducks !
Hey Mr Daniel,I'm with you on the ducks,they're most likely sitting on a nest somewhere,I really miss the farm life,I'd be walking around our place and find a Turkey or chicken had made themselves a nest,as usual,another nice video.
I think they are nesting somewhere...too!
Lol I seen that your videos under Lester’s right after I watch Jami’s video on you and Lester 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was oh my goodness this is to funny and you are now part of my videos that I watch for. I live in Windsor Ontario Canada, I love watching and learning new things about farming ❤️
Hope your ducks show up! Good to see Weston play & it's always good to support your kids.
Have you thought about cutting down some more of your trees and making more grassland? And have you thought about getting free mulch from tree services and linemen tree trimmers and mulching up your land and getting bad bales of hay to lay out on your land to gain carbon and fertilize your land?👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think there would be lots of feathers if a dog got them.
If it was Bear, there’d be feathers all over the place…quit blaming Bear for everything!!!
I love how you call for your goats to come!
🎶She thinks my tractor is SEXY!🎶🤠
Enjoyed everything and hope you can find the missing duck👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you for sharing have a wonderful evening 😊😊
Either way the dog is not doing his job. Weather its coyote or the dog. If it was coyote it would be tore up. But dogs play with them till they die.
Hi from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your thoughts and family adventures plus your farm
I am living that long lead time as well smh. I ordered a new dinning set in Nov. I was told it would take 2 months. OK not too bad right .. lol I call yesterday because we are pushing on 3 months. Now I'm being told the end of March smh. It's every aspect of life right now. Your waiting long periods for everything. I'm definitely learning great patience. We decided since we have plenty of time we are just going to remodel the dinning room while we wait. That should make some time go by b4 I'm in a rush to get it again lol ... love the vids. It's great to watch the growth of your farm. Thanks for sharing it with us .
I LOVE the way you say, "Come on Goats"
God Bless You!! You have such a Beautiful Family and Farm!! Love it!! 😊
Well in Germany there is a children's song, "Alle meine Entchen schwimmen auf dem See," well I think that's where the ducks would be safest. It does not have to be a lake, a small pond does it and it would also be wonderful to combine with Housten's hobby. He does not have to be huge, so 50-100 square meters would be enough and the ducks whether large or small, would be housed in any case safer.
Hello from NW Arkansas. Have a small business up the street from our house that has a bunch of trailers. Happy to take a gander over there and send pics if you still need one.
I've been wanting to get a leaf/dust blower.....u sold me 😂
Loving the animals etc. ❤️
All those trailer manufacturers in Ardmore, surely you can get one there,crazy times
Brings me back watching my niece play at Illinois State. Weston is doing a great job, love the 3 pointers! 🏀
Haha! I'm watching this video thinking about Lester pretending to be you walking past the camera over and over again. Lol.
You've had chickens for a very long time. Have you ever seen bear with a chicken in his mouth??? If he likes ducks he would like chickens.
Maybe you can contact Kevin at Hidden Heights about where he gets his equipment. He seems to have a knack for finding good quality used equipment.... wood chipper, bulk grain container, etc. He has a nice flat bed trailer that pivots so you don't need ramps, that he uses to haul around his own equipment! Good luck!
Love the mini Dashie!
I LOVE how you send off your kids with a "love you"! I've always done the same and have wonderful children (like you!). Keep up the great work and keep the vids coming!
Domesticated poultry is food, regardless whether or not people are eating it. They are flightless, bumbling protein sticks that hawks, owls, dogs, cats, foxes, bobcats, cayotes, racoons and others can catch and eat easily. I am not convinced that Get Back Bear, Get Down Bear, Not Now Bear is the guilty party, it's likely, but speculation alone isn't going to get to the root of the problem. He might be killing them or he could just be a victim of circumstances. It makes for good drama.
I don’t think it’s Bear!!
I know.
Poor Bear is blamed for everything.
Kind of like the least loved child in a family always gets blamed for things.
I have a big feeling they have a night time predator that's attacking and carrying off ducks.
It might be a good idea to pen your ducks in a really safe, completely enclosed pen at night, with a small house.
There's something getting to them, and I don't think it's your dogs.
Love watching all your animals and the great care you give them! Weston made a couple of good shots. When did he get the ink? What do you and DeJay think about it? I hope your ducks come back with little ones behind them!
Those leafs make a good compost.
We are supposed to get snow tomorrow morning here in the center of Louisiana. At 65 ,66 on the 31st I'm going to take cardboard and slide down the levy
Hi..... Thank you 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Hiya Daniel! I love catching your newest video while watching an oldie but a goodie! Have a blessed evening! And please tell the whole family that the Phoenix family says thanks for all you do!! Gods peace and blessings be with you today and always, amen!!
