    Glad you kept the weird chickens on your farm. Sometimes you just need pure enjoyment in your life as a farmer instead of a profit gaining venture. How about Fluffer Butter as one of the names for the silkies.

    I have 2 favourite birds on the farm: Jemima Puddleduck and Rosie’s daughter (who I call Denise). I’m really glad you kept Rosie’s daughter, as she has great feathers and is a joy to watch during the Zen moments.
    That Zen chicken moment with the xylophone was totally worth it.

    It is so apropos that the weird chickens provide their own Zen wind chime soundtrack with the new toy. Interesting how Captain Janeway wasn't as fond of the sounds. Well a Captain has to be more suspicious of novelty, she just wants to be sure it is safe. Seeing the goslings from 3 (4?) different age groups not bully the littler ones is amazing. I am impressed how even if the animals are destined for a shorter life on the farm, their preferences, personalities and care is being adjusted appropriately.

    It's not that chickens don't need enrichment, they do, but the ones that were sent to Morgen are most likely used for training chickens or for a cool trick to do with them. Or for other types of birds.

    Man, I only came across your channel a couple of weeks back, but it's one of my favorites now. You are really good at this. Edit: I mean that you've really got a talent for making maybe a somewhat niche subject into something with a much broader appeal. I wouldn't ordinarily be very interested in this type of content, but you make it fascinating to me. I'm very glad I found your channel, and thanks!

    We find that the eggs, that are a bit smaller than normal, are really nice in omelettes. The yolk is just as big as a normal egg, but then the egg white is smaller.
    Congratulations with the chickens!

    Some advice for silkies. They don't usually run or fight back.
    If you have silkies near pigs horses goats ect, they will get eaten. They just bunker down and freeze up.
    Lost a silkie rooster this spring to my boar. That pigs never harmed a chicken in two years, but the silkie rooster decided to just freeze up in the pen and let it happen. 😂

    It's so interesting to see the 'normal' chicken with the silkies. Such an interesting match. Tiny raptors sign is adorable!

    Thank you to the lady who sent the chicken toys! I had tried daring him to give them toys to see if they enjoyed them whether they NEEDed them or not. I'm glad someone stepped up. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My area of interest (besides animal intelligence studies) is animal enrichment, especially in farm and zoo settings. I also follow the communication studies with Bunny the dog and Billi the cat. I love that Morgan is allowing his animals to have a more natural life. I was a little dismayed about his close-mindedness about toys when he seems so adamant about their mental (and of course physical) health in other areas. I hope the weird chickens enjoy your gifts and change some minds. I love Morgan's "One Bad Day" philosophy. I believe we are tasked with providing our food and zoo animals with the best treatment and the best possible life.

    Hi Morgan, I know this will get buried under all the other comments, but I wanted to thank you as your videos partially cured my phobia for chickens. I started watching during COVID and I couldn’t even stand looking at the screen at first, even with the sounds turned off when the chickens were on screen. Then with little steps I could manage to watch and turn up the volume bit by bit. I am even progressing to watch chickens irl and walk up to them (as long as they’re walking away from me) instead of crying and running away. It has made my life a bit easier now I’m less afraid. Thank you again and I look forward to the upcoming videos ❤

    Hi Morgan. You mentioned you were having probs getting water to the top of your pasture. YT chan "Gridlessness" was having a similar prob. They made a ram-jet pump. (I believe that is what it was called). It just works on the minimal water pressure that is available, and uses no electricity. If I remember correctly they built it from off the shelf PVC pipes and fittings, cheaply, quickly and easily. Hope this helps.

    We have a small flock of Silkies; I love watching them! There are 4 Silkies and 1 retired Easter Egger named Esther. Our Roo (a total jerk) is named Black Jack, and the 2 Silkie hen that came with him are Jill (light gray) and Diane (white). The third hen (Janet JacksHen) is the offspring of Jack and Jill.
    Love your flock and their house. I have a Little Tykes playhouse that I am modifying as a new coop for my Weird Chickens. 😊

    Drink cart: why not put a rain gutter underneath the exit with a valve ore the leaking nozzle? And on the front a gutter for feed? When filling just move the whole cart a couple of meters. (Kind of like the gooslings green feeder but on the cart. Make a figure 8 with a strap underneath the cart and top and bottom over the gutter to hold in place kinda backpack straps style )
    Cows: why not put second line in doesn't have to be electified the visual might already help keeping the smaller cows in. Smaller patches with new grass but keep the older spot open for room to move?
    Weird chickens might be a nice crew to help you to turn your compost. If search youtube there are some nice tips to employ them for this labor. 😅
    (Citygirl brain was thinking) The toys might be more of a winter thing, cause they are now busy foraging but in winter they dont need to investigate just Eat out of the bucket and get bored more easily?

    The duck waterer looks interesting. Those stakes don't seem sturdy enough to handle the weight, though. Maybe an A-frame stand? It would still be easy to move. Love the weird chicken house. The only thing I see that might need some adjustment is the ladder. They don't seem to like the metal rungs. Very slick. And they might get hard to climb in winter when they get icy. Maybe some stick-on stair tread? I'm trying to have an area for bantams. Bought 5 chicks (straight run) from TSC and raised them in the house. Two ended up black Frizzles, one Porcelain, and 2 red Cochins. Then put them in my small, grow-out pen, 2'x8'. But it isn't snake-proof. And it's small enough, the chickens can't run from the rat snake when it gets in there. I've been working on clearing an area for a bigger pen and coop for them. This morning found another dead from apparent snake attack. I'm down to one black Frizzle, a roo, and the Porcelain. I can't let them out with my other free-range chickens, as the roo is too big. Cuckoo Maran cross. But building a coop in 100 degree weather is a bit difficult. I would love your 40 degree drizzly day.

    If you elevate the water tank a few feet, straighten the hose connection out or make it shorter and give it water pressure that should make it work better and allow more cups to be installed. To increase the pressure just continue to reduce your inner and outer diameter's until you reach a desirable pressure rate, or to he maximum pressure rating the hosing or piping can withstand. Best of luck I love the content. Only issue is this system will freeze at some point once its cold enough

    I wouldn't say the chickens need toys, necessarily, but all animals need some kind of stimulation. Your chickens probably get plenty of stimulation just hunting for food/exploring. Toys might help prevent boredom in the winter, though!
