About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. We dream that someday we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.
I laughed so hard at 7:58 after Morgan supposedly put all chicken in the coop for the night and... you can see one hen stalking behind him in the background. A runaway? lol.
I was hoping someone else had spotted that!! XD
this part was filmed before the Carmen part but funny for sure
Yeah, I saw that too. Morgan was saying that all the chickens were bedded now. lol
I wondered who else spotted that!
Lol i came down to see if anyone else mentioned that lol
Oooo we got the full “My Buddy Alfred” song this time! Honestly I find myself surprisingly disappointed when we don’t at least get the tag line haha
I came here to write the same thing!
“Kitten consent” is hysterical! Poor Abby, I too struggle with boundaries. 😊
I feel the impulsive urge to share that my oldest chicken is a hen called splat who hatched during a storm 9 years ago!
My foster chicken at my workplace, Large Marge, just hatched her first chick, today! I hope more are coming, soon!
If she's a good layer then keep it up.
Lovely Ferns!!!
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 so what if she's not? Maybe they just enjoy having her around.
She lays lovely blue eggs 🥰 Her dad was a beautiful blue/red Araucana called Splash that I adored. I’m glad to still have a piece of his heritage clucking around in her.
For anyone wondering, "Clipping a wing" just means trimming the feathers on the end of their wing and not the bone because it creates an imbalance that makes it hard for them to fly and escape an enclosure. In fact, if you clip both wings they can still fly.
Thanks for that info. Out of interest do they grow back like our nails and hair?
@@maria.mobile017 Chicken feathers are made of Keratin, the same stuff hair and nails are made of. So yes they do grow back
Sad that this gotta be explained
@@deebo9242 not everybody is taught these things and not everybody grows up around animals so idk why it would be sad.
@@PoeticMelody exactly. There will be plenty of things that I know that they don't and vice versa. Farm animals I am not so versed in, but guinea pigs I am a master with hahaha x
"How is that not a Barbara? No offense to all the Barbaras out there" was one of the funniest things I've seen on this channel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
With the hair and her plumage color, I would have called Barbara "Elvira" but that's just me :)
@@sparklecrackcentral Elvira...Elvira...My heart's on fire... Oh, wait... you meant the Mistress of the Dark?
waiting for someone to say "as a barbara can confirm..."
I love how Abby still "herds" the ducks when you are following a pack, but has learned to keep distance and not charge up fast enough to get in trouble.
As a Barbara I had to laugh about the hairstyle. Mine was like that in the 80's. Love seeing the chickens . Abby is doing great. God bless you all
The life a chicken is amazing. I lived in the bush for years with no power with 2 of my sons ... we would be outside all day gardening and having a great time and we had rescued chickens. When we got them they were nearly dead. We watch them grow and flourish from being free, their beaks had been chopped and in time they healed. But the most amazing thing we watched was the beginning of being their own flock' They had been in small separate cages their whole life. We started to see there was a hierarchy developing one chicken that always stayed at the back to guard to rear and one went out to scout and look for food as we were in a rainforest and during the day they would scramble around in all the rotting trunks and leave blanketed earth. We loved those girls! When we had to move on we gave them another family that loved them like their children They deserved the best! 🐔🐔💞💞
That sounds amazing!! Togetherness and saving animals....the best combo 👏👏
on a sick day off work, this is the kind of content I'm glad to see over a cup of hot soup
I hope you get well soon! Take care!
i hope you stay sick. Get worse!
Chicken soup, I hope
Is it only me or like that chicken got out the minute 🤣 he put that chicken inside
Was wondering if anyone else noticed that as soon as he turned to head towards Abby and the fence!😂
lol saw that too..... waaa hope she still alive
Clipping wings is essentially a haircut. They will grow them back - they molt twice a year - and there are no nerves for pain. ❤️
I love these long drawn out episodes, 19 minutes with an intro and commercials is a half hour on 📺 TV . Great job Morgan! 👏🏼 . Love seeing chickens with space.
My granddaughter turned me on to your videos and we've been watching them together since. Awhile back you were advertising the cow shirts and mentioned Kurt Cobain...we are in Aberdeen WA, Kurt's home town.
We enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one. Love all your animals!
Great to hear the my buddy Alfred song back again. In all its glory too!
SEE A PROBLEM: since the bird area is touching the border fence of the property by the woods and it's enclosed by the electrified bird fence how will Toby or Abby patrol the area to keep predator from attacking the flock? It seems like there is that whole side of the fence that is undefended and some weasel might figure it out. Maybe adding a corridor between outside fence and bird fence so dogs can pass and mark the area and keep guard.
huh it is pretty close hmm
Well large predators won’t climb that electrified border fence but a mink or weasel could squeeze through it. However minks prefer to corner prey or attack at night and the chickens are pretty secure at night within the coop
I think that area of fence is electrified. So, unless they can fly over or dig under, any predator is gonna get a solid Zap.
@@pstill9618 only the top is electrified AFAIK, a smaller predator could slip through
we need an album for all your songs. go Alfred and his son for helping you! great neighbors make life wonderful indeed!
❤A music video!!!!
My buddy Alfred is genuinely a great song to listen to
On a chicken group on FB I read someone explained that when they move chickens to a new home, they lock them up IN THE COOP for 24 hrs, before they let them out. Then they go back to their new home right away the following night. Idk if that works, but if you continue to have issues with the young girls, maybe this could help you out.
I miss “all ducks go to bed” episodes 😢. But I can always watch reruns 🙂.
Me too..I don’t skip all ads to help him!😻😜
You are so careful and thoughtful with everything you do. I love watching your farm grow!
I don't think I'll ever grow tired of the My Buddy Alfred song. ❤️
Oh man! This is great! Frank and Bean have grown up so much!!!
Abby is so playful. She loves playing and the camera! ❤❤❤
She’s still a puppy, very playful.😹😻🙀
I love the “My Buddy Alfred” theme song/montage. I wanna write one for each of my friends.
I have had the same issue with my fence and I used a pool noodle that I cut a slit in to keep it from ground out on my hard fence
It’s so interesting to see how much Abby has matured! Also hi, Alfred!
Glad to hear the "My Buddy Alfred" song in full again! And with new footage! Yeah!!
Hi Morgan ♥️ Awesome video. I like how you have created this large chicken flock on pasture with a mobile coop. Chickens will eat the bugs and grass, free fertilizer and happy chickens lay more eggs.
You are practicing great farm animal management and great land management. Keep up the fantastic job. 👏👏
Soon enough, the chickens will turntables the roles on us and we’ll be the ones being farmed.
We're already farmed by the government. Money is our cage.
Mine certainly think they control us lol 😂 that jaws theme is totally appropriate when I walk in with the leftovers 😂
@@Fiona2254 They get feed and shelter out of the deal.
Unless the cats take over first.
@@WanderTheNomad The kitties want the rodents which want the spilled chicken feed.
I just love watching Abby dog. She makes my day. Thank you for sharing
This alfred song and that weird flower song crack me up sometimes. ^^
Yay!! You caught on we all want the My buddy Alfred song! 🤣🤣
Thank you for the Alfred piece. He looks like such a wholesome fiend.
Abby and Toby are so sweet. Love how your trying to integrate all your chickens.
My grandma would take all of us kids out to swim in the bay nearly every weekend. I can remember her feeling around in the eel grass and mud and collecting clams. She'd often stuff them in the top of her bathing suit for safe-keeping. That last shot of you holding eggs in your hands... no basket. Lol.
The Chicken Project! Alfred! Interesting Project! Seems to be working! The Chicken Parade! Thank-you!
With the fence problem we had a really great friend who owned chickens and he had strung thick string on the fencing so when the chickens flew up and tried to get over the fencing they'd get unbalanced with the thick string being there. May he rest in peace Mr. Howard
Thanks for the song Morgan! ❤️
8:16 MY BUDDY ALFRED! Love that song! and that dude, he's amazing! Thanks for the longer version!
Split a piece of larger black poly pipe and slip it over the electric net post that is zip tied to the fence. Cleats on the chicken ramp might encourage them to use it.
I really enjoy the "My Buddy Alfred" song because it like a celebration! Does everyone who comes to your place to help to work, get a song? Hmmm? Thank you for all the videos!
8:16 that was one nice song
That chicken sneaking behind at 7:56 must be playing Metal Gear Solid Chicken Edition 😎
I so very much enjoyed your content and running commentary. Loved listening to and watching your chicken experience unfold. I alway, always smile on hearing the Alfred song snipit 😀.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoy the little clips of the movies, cartoons and music. You really are a phenomenal video producer
Hey Morgan a comment from the UK. I have been watching your channel for almost a year now I believe and I've learnt so much. I enjoy your channel and watching how you have learned new things and are bettering your farm. I just can't wait to see the hoop coop constructed finally and hope it stays up this year for you.
Chickens can get sour crop as well. I've only had it in my flock when a girl already had impacted crop. Personally, I don't worry about feeding them bread products, I just make sure that I don't give them too much, too often. You have enough birds (20+) that it shouldn't matter much at all since on average, each chicken wouldn't get much yeast.
I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing with us.
Except, there's no way to guarantee that all the birds are eating it equally and that there aren't just a couple in particular who are scarfing down the bread more than any of the others. Especially if it isn't especially spread out when he gives it to them. It sounds a bit like playing Russian Roulette, to me; maybe they'll be fine, or maybe they won't. You won't really know, until you know.
I love Carmen! Also, immediate like for the my buddy Alfred song. 👍
I love when you talk to your animals!
11:34 Those cows have started to make the farm sound a lot like Jurassic Park lately.
I so admire how you solve challenges and take risks. I am cowed by fear of failure, but your channel is inspiring me.
I love the Alfred song!! 😂
Even the second time around
Abby is so cute! and the chickens!
Always enjoy watching what you're up to. ms. Barbara's bouffant makes her quite the looker,lol. Well Morgan, that catchy song about Alfred is going to be running through my head for the rest of the day,lol. Thanks for the update on the chickies, see you soon!
Taking a lunch break from prepping for the storm Ian. My zucchini bread is shared with neighbors.
Anyone remember the Beehive hairstyle from the 60's? That's the first thing I thought of when Morgan showed us and started talking about Barbara. I don't even know why. I was a late-ish 60's baby, but I have always loved that hairstyle!
Hi..... Morgan, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐩🐩🐈🐄🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Hello from country nsw Australia 🇦🇺
New to your videos.
Love seeing how other people on the other side of the world farm .
It's so interesting watching you.
Keep up the amazing work 👏
dude your videos are so fun to watch. great editing, engaging presentation, fun critters with unique personalities, et al. what's not to love!!!
I've found adding new chickens at night has worked best for me and people I've sold birds too it's less stressfull and helps get them used to where to go when it's comes dusk
I love your farm. Digging your vibe. Loving the names.
My mom use to clip wings off of all the ducks and chickens she used to own. I am not traumatized by this 😁👏
Love your videos! Keep em coming ❤️🤟❤️🇺🇸 lots of love from Ohio!
When I was a young boy back in the 50's my father had 500 chickens. When he wanted to sort one out from the flock he used a long pole with a wire hook on the end. He would slide the pole up behind the bird and slip the hook around its leg and haul in the bird. The chickens didn't seem to be bothered by the pole. The pole was long enough so he could keep his distance and not scare them away.
I can’t wait for the video about the chicken coop build!
Stay safe, stay sane, stay Strong
Always a joy to watch your video, you make it fun and funny. Much blessings
You have a gap in that chicken net, make sure it’s not from the wires that are hot or the net won’t be fully operational, the shock too low to do anything.
I was just fixing our net because a goat got tangled, the fence was off at that moment, and I had to cut to release her. The first attempt at fixing it wasn’t good enough so this is try #2 at getting it back full on.
And my chickens love the leftovers and whatever goes over/old in the pantry and fridge 😆
I really love watching your farm , your content makes me feel relax and full of energy after a boring long day
My mother's name was Barbara, and you are entirely correct!!
8:00 "this is going well" with the chicken following him, heh
And now im going to have "my buddy Alfred" song stuck in my mind for the rest of the day. Thanks. 😂
I didn't realize that I needed more of **My Buddy Alfred** in my life.
Had to watch the video with the sound off and CC on. Even without the sound I had to sing the "my buddy Alfred" song! 🎶🎶😂
Sorry, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the phrase “leftover zucchini bread” 🤯😂
All I could think of when you started with the Jaws theme was "We're gonna need a bigger coop"
"Myyyy Buuuudddy Allllfred!" That really does a soul good, y'know!
so impressed with Abby .. thought she would be a cattle dog .. but somewhere she learned that her job is chicks too.. I assume... well done TobyDog
0:06 "We have a whole heck of a lot of chickens on our farm." 🎬 Cuts to: shot with ducks & a goose in the foreground. Ha, ha :)
0:08 So they have a "Chick Click" problem?
0:20 "Kitten Consent" LOL
I had no idea the video was going to be this amusing.
I love watching your videos and learning different stuff
Coming along nicely. I love watching how you have figured stuff out from research and trial and error methods. You don't get stuck in one groove.
I'm curious how those chickens are avoiding flying predators.
Also am I awful that Abby's shock footage now makes me chuckle?
Not at all I laugh too. LOL
I know roosters have a hawk alarm call to tell other chickens to take cover. Morgan has fake owl on the mobile chicken coop which supposedly deters flying predators
I still laugh everytime I see the clip too.
And the guard dogs/cats help scare away critters too, as well as the birds being kept in coops at night, which reduces avian predation
There are very few flying predators able to take off with a mature chicken (because of their weight), falcons and most hawks won't even try, as chicken are able to put up quite a fight and will even gang up on a predator landing among them. Eagles may give it a go, but despite their clumsy appearance chicken have good dodging reflexes and usually keep watch of the sky in the open.
Also, as many other non-predatory birds, chicken have a natural adaptation to protect them from getting hooked up from above: their have thinner skin and loosely rooted feathers on their backs, in order to pluck free if the eagle failed to sink his claws deep enough, which happens far more often than you may think (their actual success rate is around 1 out of 3).
Great content. Entertaining and even educational.
I really enjoyed that short documentary about your chickens. Very entertaining and educational.
Will predators be an issue since the dogs can't roam along that section of the outer fence now? Fun video though! : D
After a long wait i got my Toby Dog Tsirt!
Better than expected, Love it!
Nice one dude!👍
the amount of serotonin Alfred's song gives XD
I watch everyday for your videos. Just love your content Morgan.
Great video Morgan and very well done and you have us all drawn into the story and sitting and waiting for the next chapter (s). I understand why you’ve let the chickens and geese and ducks are all free range because really that’s the way animals were meant to be and you had a lot of projects going on that you’ve been able to accomplish because you haven’t had to worry about all the individual tours for the individual groups. And also because you knew there was a Goal in sight of putting all of those three foul groups together anyway in the hoop barn… So it kind of made sense that they would free range together over the summer and we used to each other because you guys have serious winters and winters can be difficult when you’re forced to be together!!
I’m very proud of Abby of how well she’s doing sitting and being patient while you work on the fence and sitting and listening to you as talk about the chickens and have her sit while you work on the other side with the chickens. She is really beginning to understand the concept of guarding the chickens as well as the rest of the farm… Following your lead and Toby‘s. I cannot believe how big she has gotten over the summer!! It won’t be long before she and Toby are pretty much the same size although typically a male is always more muscular than a female, regardless of the breed. She’s definitely responding to the extra attention she’s getting from you, that is very obvious❣️❣️Thank you Morgan for making the Effort w/ Abby❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ it’s nothing less than what she deserves😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
She is worth it❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
By the way I love it when you’re on your four wheeler and she’s running beside you. I don’t know who smile is bigger!!😄😄
PS~ it was so good to see “your buddy Alfred” and hearing more of the song and NOT just a short clip…Love the black hat Alfred!!
Wait, what?! Music ❤. Wonderful! 🤩😎
Thank you Alfred
A cool way to get your chicken power working. I do like the rubber spacers for the fence. Like you said Abby is doing very good, like you also said it will take some time with Abby. Very good vid.
Your chicken ramp needs some horizontal bars put on it - i learned the hard way. makes it easier to go in/out eps. in winter. BE VERY CAREFUL FEEDING EGGS TO CHICKENS! They’ll start eating their own!!
Make sure that hoop coop has very good ventilation or you will have respiratory problems all winter. Last year all was well. Looks like you will have more critters this winter.
i'ts 1.30 am for me rn and i'm a bit tipsy but that doesn't devalue what I want to say and that's that i'm proud of you
I love chickens! I wish I was physically able to have them. 😢 a friend from McCalla, Alabama,💖🇺🇸
Enjoying watching the hoopla- hoop house go up!
Big fan of Alfred and his song
7:56 chicken loose in the background. Lol. Carmen wasn't the only stubborn one.
Or wait did Carmen figure her way back out? Lol
Thanks Morgan for all of the great content in your video's 😋👀👍....Old Shoe🇺🇸
As a Barbara, I wish my hair was so volumous 🤣 Very interesting video as usual!
I’ve found that integrating chickens into a new flock works best by putting the new chickens in the coop at night with the others. Most of the time they don’t even notice the new additions.
