About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

Margie is probably out, hunting bobcats. She’ll be back tomorrow with a bobcat’s neck in her murderous beak.
😂
Allison killed Margie. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
She is out taming bobcats to do her bidding
@@piteusx8440 Ssssh ....Let Morgan keep searching ! LOL !
hawkturkey a cat can’t kill a chicken
If I know Margie well, she is probably out plotting with coyotes to murder the leghorns as an act of revenge for not letting her have her rule uncontested.
@hawkturkey way to kill the fun
Thaumaturgist Guard....Oh gees!!!!!!
Do you watch too much Game of Thrones?
Omg due 😱 that's evil
@@BigJackB1977 I play too much Crusader Kings actually
So Alyson hated Margie AND she was the last person to see her. Seems like an open-and-shut case to me :)
Alyson should demand a trial by combat!
Ivan Ha hi babe
This plot thickens.
"im been searching for hours and couldn't find margie the murder chicken...what for dinner honey?"
"Chicken"
alyson kinda sus tbh
The ballad of Margie the Murder Chicken has taken quite a few twists and turns. Will this be the end? Stay tuned, true believers, to the next episode of Gold Shaw Farm!
The story would make a good song...
@@RandyLea Good song for Murder Ballads vol2
I’d say Toby wouldn’t eat or attack any of your animals. And chickens usually don’t just leave or walk away. They definitely know where they belong to. If she’s gone, something took her.
If so, sorry for your loss!
Maybe she just went broody?!? I'm still hoping for a good outcome!
Denali Princess I guess Morgan would’ve noticed if Margie went broody. That doesn’t happen over night. I still hope I’m wrong here and she shows up after 21 days with a bunch of fluff balls chasing her...
hawkturkey The fact that there’s no rooster doesn’t necessarily mean that a hen doesn’t try to hatch eggs.
@hawkturkey Isn't one of the young chickens a rooster? Morgan suspected that the extra chick that the company threw in was a rooster? At what age is rooster "ready" for action? Not yet I suppose?...
@@floriank9435 exactly I actually go to a farm every weekend and the roosters are in a pen on their own and the hens have their own pen as well and the hens lay nonfertile eggs
It's possible that she has a nest somewhere and is setting.
@@frigidacknowledgment2238 getting silkies wont matter once the raccoon realizes there's an uncontested meal whenever he wants. you'll need to add some protection for the flock
@@frigidacknowledgment2238 I had a duck that got murdered by a raccoon and he was my favorite duck
Did they free range or murdered through coop wire? :(
@@frigidacknowledgment2238 ever since I've got poetry we've had issues with raccoons, killing them. That even get in their cage at night, so we had to seal the hole caves and sit out there with guns at night to shoot them I think we got it handled now though 😁
FrigidAcknowledgment 22 I killed 33 of the damn things, after they wiped out over $2000 in baitfish and poultry.
Havaheart livetraps baited with marshmallows or sardines works pretty good.
Ghost chicken Henrietta finally got her revenge. I can hear her clucking laughter in the background.
I was typing "I bet Margie is a high born Lannister" and then noticed Cersei's clip and said to myself I love that guy 🤣🤣🤣
There is a small chance she could be broody and is hiding somewhere in the tall grass or on the other side of the fence ?
I dont think he has a rooster...
@@boom6702 That doesn't matter, chickens will still go broody and sit on eggs.
Her breed isn't known to go broody but it isn't impossible at all.
@@SageandStoneHomestead She hatched out of mixed eggs so she isn't a purebred, and from my experience mix breeds will defiantly go broody .
Ah yes, that'll do it!
Conspiracy: Oh, so ALLISON said that she saw her outside a half-hour prior? And you said Allison resents Margie? Hmmmmmmm interesting 🤔 (this is a joke)
there was both motive and opportunity.... hmmmmm.... jkjk
Curiously, Allison was eating chicken salad at the time, as well. O_O joke
Not funny
Wandering Raven can’t you take a joke
Wandering Raven
Omg who asked :D
And who, are you
the proud hen said
that I must bow so low?
Only a chick' of a different coat
that's all the truth I know
In a coat of brown, or a coat of white
a chicken still has claws
And mine are long and sharp my lord
as long and sharp as yours
And so she spoke, and so she spoke
that hen of Gold Shaw Farm
But now the rains weep o’er her hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o’er her hall,
and not a soul to hear.
TheWarpDrive that was very nice
Love the rains of castamere!
@@maryschillinger2909 so beautiful
She could be broody and sitting on eggs somewhere. Very common with free-ranging chickens.
If she is, I'm afraid the eggs aren't fertilized. 😐
@@AshCharlie69420 Of course they"re not he doesn't have a rooster. A broody hen doesn't distinguish between fertile or unfertile. They'll even sit on the eggs of other birds.
@@palmettopurist5549 he actually introduces a rooster in the video
It happened with us 🤣
Old murder chickens never die;
She just flew the coop.
Having "DON'T EAT MY BABIES!" In the background when showing Margie is a good touch
A queen knows when it is her time to bow out. 😭 RIP Margie!!
New favorite chicken Alexander HamilHen
One of my hens was sickly for several weeks. She was listless, unstable on her feet, not eating, had diarrhea, and stopped laying eggs. After two expensive trips to the vet, I decided to wait it out and eventually, she got better and laid an egg yesterday! I don't know what she had, but I'm happy that she's back to normal. I hope that your young chicken will get better too.
The other chickens got tired of putting up with Margie. They ganged up on her and buried her up by the trees.
I saw that once in a document about baboons.
Baboon kills baby from its own group.
Group extremely angry.
Baboon hast to sleep on another tree.
Leopard comes at night and eats the baboon.
Group "this is justice"!
Okay these are chickens, but why shouldn't that be the case?
I can hear the police detective now “did she have any enemies? Can you think of any reason why someone would want to harm her!” 🤓🐓🩸🧐
Margie may have a secret clutch of eggs she's trying to hatch.
Which isn’t impossible I’d say
That’s what I was thinking
That's probably the best theory, she seems like she'd keep her hatching eggs hiding.
Seems rational
Yeah your right must be broody
dont go for the plastic liner. your thoughts about keeping it all natural is the right one. You need to find a water source that will flow into the pond. Coz right now water in it is affected by evaporation, soil absorption and animal consumption. But there is no replenishing happening. If a small brook or a natural spring is there on your farm then it would help.
Do you have well water? If u do then there is a spring down deep somewhere. Also if there is a stream on your property, depending on how far away it is, you may be able to redirect some of the water...But whatever you do, even with an underground spring, August is a tough month for ponds in New England. They seem to dry up to almost nothing. If they created a lake with fountains and water displays at Versailles in the 1600s, then you can do it at GSF!
And Poor Margie- please let us know if you find her. Been a tuff summer for you guys♡
LivLovely what England’s in the old world
Yeh once my dad made a pond for our duckes and they just tore it up
Would putting rocks in the pond help with the soil absorption?
(no idea, I don't know anything about pond maintenance but there's an outdoor Ren Faire grounds near here with a little in-ground pond full of rocks which has frogs and fish in it, and instead of something like a plastic lining)
As the resident bird namer here on our little 5 acre mini farmstead I approve of Allison's name choices. Our rooster, Hornfog, sends his regards.
Hornfog is a WONDERFUL name!
Margie got - for sure - hunted by the ghosts of the others she killed or plotted to kill in her reign.
Ooo, good call. That’s GOTTA be it!
My grandson, the Marge fan, kept hoping that she would pop out and yell Haha I tricked you. But... no. Then he thought the ducks were looking for her and calling her name in duck language. Poor Marge. She will be missed.
no. no she won't.
Im sure you’ve already considered this - but about your pond - you might want to find a stream or something where you could reroute some of the water to have flow to it....
any still water will disappear if there is no added water at all - especially when animals are a drinking from it and with the sun on it every day....
It all depends on where the water table is in your area....
but even if you line the pond somehow, you will still have ‘disappearing’ water if it’s not replenished....
It's unsafe to have that kind of water around animals that will be selling as food
Maybe he can find someone who can do water witching. He may be able to find a underground stream.
6:47
Imagine if Margie was in one of those windows in that shed just watching him
Thanks for sharing your story. My son couldn't get enough, a great break from home study. Thanks 👍
A good rooster will lodge itself in a fox's throat before the fox ever gets to the hens, and raise six kinds of hell in the process. Almost makes up for them attacking you every day 🤣
Love the subtle Schitts Creek intro. I love watching your videos. Congrats on the New York Times story. You’re doing cool stuff. Keep it up. Margie is out somewhere building an army.
Now i know that whenever the title says "The Story Of..." it's bad news :/
hope there's a happy ending
Hi Alison. Beautiful and kind😀
Your favorite Chicken is Margie? Morgan, she's out plotting your demise with a herd of Coyotes and some Vultures, We're gonna have to call Jesse and get her and Miah to do an intervention! pond, clay, little at a time if necessary.
Oh, this is such a sad news.
I was really hoping by the end of the video Margie will appear.
It's painful to see that she's really gone.
I still hope you find her.
When you showed the forest your farm is backed up against, the answer became obvious: Bigfoot. They have great love for a Sunday chicken dinner.🦍
IKR but I dont think Sasquatch would get past Toby . And Sasquatch really don’t like dogs because they cause humans to detect them
At 14 minutes you can separate the video into two different stories. Make Margie (praying she shows up) the narrative of one video and the pond a separate video. It will reduce the time (read attention span) of each video and create additional content allowing for more advertising dollars you can use to put back into the farm.
The best of luck to your guys. Love the videos!
In regards to the plastic liner, I have a pond in my backyard that has been around for several years, and as far as I can tell the plastic liner has not decayed. The only damage it has suffered is from the occasional muskrat that shows up and decides to punch through it. My pond is also lined with clay, so that probably helps.
It is always surprising how attached we get to the characters of our birds! I’m very sorry Margie is missing. I hope she comes through, but if not, you have my sympathies!
Do you have something like shell grit for the chickens and ducks? It can really boost their egg production!
Not to mention help prevent eggbinding! However, excess calcium is bad for drakes.
I need anyone’s opinion on this we feed our ducks Purina layer and it’s “fortified” with oyster shell should we still off additional oyster shell? The roam our yard and are also fed fruit and veggies we don’t eat as well as some seed mixes.
@Tyler Ramage - If your chickens are foraging and getting lots of treats, they WILL need an extra calcium source(24/7 dish of oyster shell). If their diet is 100% layer feed, then they should be fine. We've bred chickens to be such prolific layers that natural sources of calcium won't cut it anymore ✌️
Tyler Ramage - ooo, bonus fact, DuMor feed is off-brand purina, and it's a couple of bucks cheaper 🤘🐔
@@tramage64 I'm not sure about ducks. but i find my hens will only have what they need so i can always leave it out for them to have when they want.
I don't understand how your channel is so compelling and I feel bad for a chicken (knowing the final outcome...). I have watched hours of farm chores. You've got something here, man. Best of luck.
We were missing one of our Easter eggers who is 7 years old, and looked for days, then 1 week later my girl flipped over an empty flower pot and she scurried out, scared my girl half to death thank god we had a lot of rain that week and the pot was in a small divot in the ground so she had rain water to drink we gave her lots of probiotic electrolytes Mash vitamins to help her recoup but she still hasn't been the same since been about 5 months now so you never know I think she jumped on the edge of the flower pot and it flipped over on her I would look under things that could be flipped
I can't get enough of the nonsense of this channel! 🤣🤣 I'm so happy I found this channel
I am rooting for Margie's return. She just crossed the street to get to the other side.
We should start a cult known as Cult of the unholy murder chicken. (Fun fact! Once chickens taste the blood of their own, they become hungry for more)
I love Margie, and I am so sad to hear she is missing from the farm now. That being said, your pets have come back from 'the dead' before. And Margie is definitely in the "pet zone" at this point. Maybe we shouldn't give up on her just yet. So...I'll be over here being cautiously optimistic, but still realistic here in the comments. *fingers crossed for another crazy comeback*
I think after what she did to Henrietta that Morgan is going to have a better chicken population. Margie might have a high spot in being loved but she was not good for this farm. Once you name a chicken you probably can't eat it. Imagine trying to dine on Margie. Impossible. Charlotte's Web... can't eat Wilbur.
sending positive energy for Miss Margie.
I feel like there's gonna be comments of people wondering what happened like 3 years from now.
You have the best farm stories ever. They are so cool.your a great storyteller.
Margie most likely ventured out to subdue her own kingdom. Toby seems to be very reliable so she most likely went out on her own terms to beat some predators into submission and rule over her very own army.
I don't know where is Margie, but I have few good advice.
You have a nutrition problem amongst the chikens. In the video at 5:18 you may see that Margie tear out a feather from the other animal and eats it. That is not because she isn't like the other type of hen but it's reason is nutrition problem. The same reason you may see at 2:32 on the other hen, her feather was tear out by the other chickens. At least it is very similar to that symptom what I experienced several year ago.
It's reason can be the following for example:
1. The corn and other cereals has a lack of important proteins, 5 or 6 essential protein (like methionine, lysine, tryptophane). There is several good product what you can mix amongst the natural forage. In your country I don't know exactly what you can use, but I'm sure there is something.
2. The other nutrition problem may be the lack of calcium, that can cause similar symptom.
You should mill your forage insted giving the seed in whole. If my information correst around 15% of the ingested forage is wasted to mill by the hen. Not needed to mill like flour, to snap a corn seed into 4-5 pieces is enough. I use 5 millimeter pitted sifter in my grinder machine.
And give them salt. The natrium is very importan mineral for every living being.
For example I use this: 50% grain, 25% corn, 25% pea, 3 type of calcium source, salt, vitamin mixture. And in the water I mix vinegar, several bacteria can't endure the rancid environment.
For detailed guidance you may read a specialized textbook, that can help much more than me.
P.s.: your farm is nice!
Sorry to hear about Margie!
RIP Margie the Murder Chicken.
When I was little we had this badass little Rhode Island Red hen who escaped for several weeks. When she came back she had several babies! That hen was so badass. She fought a hawk and WON to save her babies. Maybe she's out sitting on some eggs somewhere!
*I havent watched the whole video yet but I hope u find margie*
When we used to have chicken, it also happen to loose hens without knowing what happen to them, but sometime days later we find them in the most impossible place sitting on a clutch of eggs. After that every time a chicken disappear, we search them in the most secluded place we could think of. So maybe Margie is brooding somewhere, but with all the predator around you farm, i wouldn't be hopefull to be honnest.
2:54
Him: "Easy there man, easy!"
Lucky: "You dare challenge me mortal?"
*Gets turned into dinner*
It sure never gets boring on Gold Shaw Farm....😉
Oh no not Margie, she has made such a name for herself :
Awww poor Margie, so sorry for your loss. God bless & be with you all always ❤ 🙏 💛
That dream you had of Margie was her saying her final goodbyes before she leaves to the clouds.
I’ve been following your channel for a while now. I am so sadden to hear that Margie went missing! I’m so sorry. I will miss randomly seeing her in your videos.
As for the pond, I live in CA and have clay soil, which I wish I could send to you!!
Thank you for your videos
Much love from CA
Margie was quite a character, but, these things happen on a farm.
Toby does a good job for a solo dog btw, a second barn dog (I know you were already planning on it) would be the best idea. Don't beat yourself up too much, live and learn.
I do think Tobydog is a bit overburdened with all being said (hard for him to focus on all the different flocks diverging in all directions), when he reaches proper age, getting another dog would certainly help protect that large spread of free ranging animals during the day.
You are doing a good job as a new farmer, you're certainly bettering, don't be too afraid to expand next year with more chickens or a few pigs (not for the pond, but if they can help then solid bonus).
Best of luck.
I agree with the second dog option. 2 dogs are better for protection!
As a chicken and duck owner as well I know how badly you feel. We do our best to protect them but sometimes it is not enough. So sorry about Margie!
With Margie's tendency to hop the fence, she might have just snuck off and gotten too close to the woods for you or Toby to notice anthing.
This Story would make a great Children's Book. 🤣😂
Margie the murderer: gone.
Rest of the chicken: *ceelebrate good times, cmon!*
For your pond, consider directing rainwater from your buildings or even building a low-cost rain roof to consistently provide more water for the area.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Allison did it!
Margie has just gone for a wander maybe wanted to see what it's like outside of the farm crossed fingers she comes to her senses and comes back to goldshaw farm because her family need her. Crossed fingers that your feather baby gets better and hope lil barn cat is getting stronger and full of lots more energy every day that passes 2020 has been horrid and I'm hoping the torture we've all gone through and suffered will end with a better year next. Lots of love to you Morgan and alison and all the animals at goldshaw farm 💖
"See... when u do clownery, the clown comes back to bite" -Monique
In this case the clown came and got Margie
Hey Morgan! Try and pack the ducks and geese into the pond area for awhile. If they poop enough there, it should solidify and seal the pond for next year
Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. Margie all her life conspired, now her death is a conspiracy. May her soul rest in peace ✌.
We had a chicken disappear. 2 days later she was back. Sorry about your girl. Hugs to all!!!
Are you sure Margie isn't trying to breed somewhere?
Hi.....Morgan . (Gold Shaw Farm). Nice to see you I love chicken, duck, goose I love watching your video, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐩🐈🌱🎥👍👍👍
The problem wasn’t the rooster at the beginning, it was the lack of hens, a rooster needs a bout 8 hens, it spreads out the abuse rooster tend to do to the hens
02:56 | Interesting ... you show a rooster carcass and BAM! a commercial for high end kitchen cultlery! You're talented, Dude!
Margie is probably plotting the death of the predator that offed her in heaven >:)
Hi Morgan! I’m a viewer from Quebec and I love your videos! This spring I purchased 2 Kahki Campbell cross with Cayuga ducks because I love your ducks, thank you for making such great videos!
I literally..shouted "margie the murder chicken is missing" 😧 almost waking my mom up...hope u find her
Lol, you just got a tiny bit emotional there for a while. I think you adopted the members of Gold Shaw farm (which is easy to do).
@@barbarahouk1983 yess u r ryt.....😁
I love the transition after deciding to put down Lucky... Morgan has a little scuffle and then just a wipe to a butchered Lucky lol, perfect cinematography.
P.S. I’m not condoning him killing any animals just laughing at the setup and storytelling since it’s so good 👍
Sees title of video: "The Story of Margie the Murder Chicken."
Goes to get popcorn and a good seat.
Something has happened to Margie. What goes around comes around.
This should be good. Never liked her.
@hawkturkey Maybe she decided to bully a coyote and the coyote won. Usually I am I sucker for birds of all kinds. I had ducks as pets when I was a kid. But I just couldn't stand Margie.
my grandpa has a farm that has a pond and he said that he put clay in it a while back and let his cows go in there to stomp it down into the dirt a while back but fast forward to the present its a pretty lively pond, has trees all around, blue gill , and even some turtles live in there. also the pond is kinda in between two hills which probably helped it alot being that its basically a giant slide for rain water. another thought maybe if you can get some plants to grow in there, the roots can kinda give the bottom some structure and help hold water.
I think Alexander hamilhen looks like a barred rock, but the brownish color that she has is throwing me off a bit
Maybe barred rock mix?
Bielefelder
Cream legbar rooster is my bet, like Morgan said.
One thing I can think of to help the pond is getting a bunch of large flat rocks laying them out over the bottom of the pond and covering it in sand and gravel. If you can get some clay too that will also be a good idea to mix in clay to keep it all held together.
George R.R. Martin finally got to her :(
Give sick chickens chilli, it perks them up and they love it
When you are early and all you see is “FIRST!” Or calling your place like 2nd or 3rd. By the way, no one cares what place you are in.
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. But I’m not doing it at all so I can show off...I’ve done it this first time because I love his videos and it’s cool that I was the first one to be here this time
So says mister 278!
P51JoshuaJ _ i agree, totally juvenile..
I just don't understand this comment
James Howells they are talking about when someone makes the comment “first” this means they want people to know they were the first one to see the video. We are all saying who cares who sees it first.
The owls and hawks were always after our chickens. :^( So...now I'll have to follow up with the next video offering. Thanks! :^)
Aw I’m so sorry about Margie! I really hope you find her. It wont be the same without her!
This is so cool; I take care of chickens (and two goats) on the property of a community garden. This is funny stuff!
No one could blame that adorable Toby! He's such a good boy!
Love your videos and animals, especially toby dog! Wishing you guys nothing but luck from NJ!
Here in Missouri, ponds come natural. Our ground is 50% red clay and 50% rocks!! I was going to suggest pigs, but you came to that in your own. Good luck!
I literally got an ad about nature documentary and it said, "the smallest creates make the biggest impact" 🤣
Don't give up hope just yet. I lost my favorite chicken once too, I call her Boss because she's a bantam but she can hold her own against just about anyone in the yard. She moves like a boxer when other chickens try to spur her and once she finds an opening spurs them hard. One day she disappeared and I thought a hawk got her but then several weeks later I found her bringing back nine babies.... Those chickens are sneaky with laying eggs and when they go broody they go broody hard. I hope your story has a happy ending. If anyone can survive in the wild, it's Margie.
I think Margie will show up. So many places to take a nap on the farm. I was wondering about the pond. Summer does dry them up. Great video. 😺💖
Morgan, PLEASE keep quarantining that sick hen! I'm glad you're giving her some stuff to help perk her up, but do be careful. You say it's not coccidiosis, but it can be hard to tell until it's too late. Cocci can wipe out an entire flock within days.
I'm not one to blindly suggest stuff...but as I said, I was raised on a farm, and my father was also a Farm Drainage Contractor. Now he's been gone for over 10 yrs, so he's not an option...but there are several fine businesses near you. They'd be able to advise you on your pond, and give you environmentally sound ways to save it, or get rid of it. Which ever you prefer. The Land Improvement Contractors of America could also recommend someone near you. I wish you every good luck...it warms me to see people who genuinely care for the land and their animals.
sorry for your loss of Margie the MurderChicken God bless u guys
You're a great story teller. Excellent channel!
New here and as a long time poultry person you need to look and see if Marge is setting on infertile/fertile egge from herself or others (ducks/geese). Those Easter Egger's are excellent hiders and she may also be enclosed somewhere. Happens quite often, I know it has to me, hee hee hee. If you didn't find a trail of her feathers, yeah. Next I suggest you worm your entire flock and treat for mites. Look for mites in and around their vents and ears. If you do worm them make sure you check the label/s for when you can consume their eggs. Good luck but don't give up! Thanks for sharing!👍
