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.
An yes. Like this duck, I am too very loud and I think I am something I'm not. Like good looking and smart.
Don’t say that, I’m sure you’re lovely :) 💜
@@Zlinky.4220 ummmm
Smells fishy but it ok to telll that a girl is lovely
Lmao
Yeah don't be hard on yourself, I'm sure you are lovely
Self confidence is very strong with u
She is a goose. Keep her with her friends. She might be the duck ambassador between the ducks and geese with this flock.
The one that can bring balance to the duck and goose force.
@@GoldShawFarm it will be balanced as every thing should be
If you separate Ron from her flock. She gonna ended up starting a construction company named Good Duck Construction
too ducking crazy !
That would be an outcome not all too bad, actually
Was looking for someone who watches parks and recreation 👌
Rest in peace Margie. 😢
That is a beautiful pic/avatar.

You beat me to the same comment lol
Kind of nice seeing a scythe being used as an actual farming tool, and not some unconventional death related weapon in an anime.
That was some sweet scythe action!!!
I mean, the scythe part of the personification of Death is usually just a metaphor where it originated, is it not? A scythe being a combat weapon isn't any inherently less realistic than our anthropomorphization of concepts that can't really be such.
Yeah. The harvest of souls.
Of course lots of farm implements became improvised weapons.
@@radix4400 japanese ninja are probably the most famous for using farm tools as weapons. The small arrow shaped knife, called a kunai, was a trowel. The short swords ninja are often depicted as having are actually sickles for harvesting buckwheat and rice. Specialized weapons are expensive so being able to use a sharped farmers tool is cost effective.
@@radix4400 I think the irony probably lies somewhere around the fact that any weapon is deadly in Death's hands. Harvesting souls (probably coupled with separating the wheat from the chaff) is just the metaphor that was chosen by our ancestors.
I got 3 ducks and 3 geese and they arrived same day 2 years ago packed in the same box, they are inseperable, they dont hurt eachother or anything, matter of fact they are the bullies and keepers of my chickens. They rule the whole flock and keep everyone together suprisingly. You dont have a thing to worry about, and just wait till they start to breed, you never saw anything so funny as a duck mounting a geese.
Will geese be aware of and try to protect against hawks? They are my only persistent predators. I also have a dog who is not chicken safe, I have wondered if a couple of geese would settle her down. She was a year old when we got her, and has come a long way behavior wise but I don’t really think she will be able to be free in the yard. My chickens are in a fenced in area, we are working on it being completely enclosed.
@@lilolmecj A big fucking rooster maybe? I don't know much about birds but I know for fact a rooster will fight hawks
I'm just a middle-aged punk loser who has lost his job, his wife, and most of his friends to PTSD, but I discovered this channel about a week ago and Morgan, Alison, Toby, Pedro, Justin, Ron, and the rest of the crew have already given me so many little moments of happiness (and have inspired me to try to up my editing game on my own UA-cam channel)! Thanks for everything, Gold Shaw Farm!
Hang in there. Consider MDMA therapy if you're not on antidepressants. You are worth it, and needed. Permaculture farming is therapy in itself. These videos make me want to get a farm.
Thanks for watching, Josh!
Another series is the long time Brit show "Time Team ".
It's a show about archeology but it's the gentle banter and friendly ribbing is very settling.
I have seen comments and even one whole episode that talks about how Time Team helps with stress and PTSD. It might help you. I know it has helped me as a buffer from this crazy year.
Good luck.
@@katmandudawn8417 I LOVE Time Team! It's a great recommendation! :)
Me too with grief, PTSD health bad...the sick disrespect of covid suffering ....anyhow... I tuck myself in with a pleasant youtube video like this on my phone on a pillow on my tummy and pray for sweet dreams. Gotta keep looking for some smile and giggle time to stay sane. I feel what you said.
Man those terrified bird screams make me wish that all farms were like yours, where the farmer actually cares about the birds instead of the bottom line. I'm so glad you treat your birds with respect and let them keep their little posse instead of seperating them
That's why I try to buy all my meat, eggs, and milk from farmer's markets, cuz the small ones tend to be more like this guy. It's the factory farms that are evil. They subcontract out livestock to these smaller farms that are forced into contacts that fuck them over, but they have no choice, cuz if they don't sign, the corporation will destroy them. They don't even own the cows and chickens on their farms, they're the property of the corporation, so they dictate how they're treated, which is ghoulish.
So, ALWAYS support small, no-contract farms! They need all the money they can get!

Keep her and the crew together and house them with the chickens so the geese can protect the chickens and Ron Swanson wont have her little duck heart broken.
I have a PET GOOSE named Pretty Bird and From my knowledge, the geese have imprinted on Ron Swanson and that imprint lasts for life. Think of the guard geese that are raised with chickens or ducks. Those geese will likely protect that ducky with their lives ! It'll be the best protected duck on the farm lol.
I kind of thought it was something like that. A lot of the times you see them she's right in the center of the group. The most protected spot.
I kind of wonder if she will ever find a mate & have little ducklings of her own. I'd certainly be curious to see how her little flock would treat them.
@@Nirrrina if she does accept a drake to mate her, her offspring would likely, again, be treated as a part of the flock. The issue isn't as much if they'll let her mate with a drake but rather if shell let a drake mate her since she thinks shes a goose... Unless the geese think their ducks lol. The biggest issue i see is the geese trying to mate with the duck and potentially injuring her in the process... That does happen. But this guy is so involved with his animals, that im not really concerned.
Damn I can’t even get a fish 🤣
@lana lake she sure does! There are many videos of her answering to her name on mu channel. Shes imprinted on me and my kids and hubby 😜
@@food7217 because your parents or spouse wont allow?? (If u don't mind me asking)
The farm has changed so much throughout videos.
So cute that Ron stayed with the geese the whole time. I wonder if this will stay the case as time progresses. Also, cool if they all get used to each other and we end up with one fewer generation of duck bullying geese!
you are ducking crazy. Its geese who chase ducks off
@@davelawson2564
That's what he means. Duck bullying geese are geese that bully ducks!
Since they grew up together, the goslings she's with will probably still pal around with her, but the other, older geese might not. We'll just have to see. Hopefully they'll accept her 🤞
As soon as she comes into heat the whole picture will change
@@TruckTaxiMoveIt still going strong! 😂
I feel so bad for laughing at their distressed screeches as you put them in the house 😂
Reminded me of having to put my young chickens in their coop by hand when they first experienced a torrential downpour and had no idea what to do! 🙃 silly birds!
@@jawjagrrl Awweeee! That is so cute 😂 "Help us mummy we do not know how to cope with the sky water"
"cmon guys it'll be cold out go inside the duck house"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAA!!!"
It's so cute watching Toby hang out while you're doing the chores.
In a world gone mad, I feel right when I watch Gold Shaw Farm. “RELEASE THE QUACKEN!” 🥰
Yes! Please don’t separate little Ron from her found flock. I’m sure her bonds with them are just as important as her birth flock, if not more so. Although an integration process between Ron’s two worlds, sounds difficult, it sounds worth it. I’m just a non bird expert running their mouth lol. Although I do know enough about animals to say with some seriousness that separation trauma can take a terrible toll. I love your videos and your farm
Lanklow maybe she is into big ones 😏
@Lbot beenthere she is going to be severely harrassed by any drake as well. It's kind of a disaster to have a duck raised away from other ducks.
She'll be perfectly happy with the geese. The only downside is that all of her eggs will be infertile. So if they want to breed Ron Swanson, that'll be a problem.
I love the awkward fuzz/feathers phase the goslings are in. Looks like they have little angel wings lol.
Hopefully not ACTUAL angel wing, that's a really bad sign 😭 But I love this phase, I call it the "fuzzy lemon/fuzzy football" stage
Thank you for doing what u guys are doing. I love animals and would love to be doing what u are doing but too old now (77). I get such a kick out of yr videos. Just cracks me up! U are such a nut. Luv the way u talk to all of them and name them. What a treat to watch u. Helps to make my day and makes me smile and laugh! Bless u both. Delia and me. 😺👵🥰☺️
I'm 73 and feel the same. I LOVE your videos. As soon as I see them I click. Thank you!
I feel the same way ,I'm 69 and love animal also. I know I couldn't ever do half the stuff that needs to be done on a farm.
Ron knows she's a goose, end of story! lol You need to write a children's book for adults, about her and her sweet crew and how not to be so judgy or prejudice, and that's how life rolls on the farm!
WOW! A great idea . That would be a wonderful story for kids. Morgan, try to take time , perhaps with your absolutely beautiful wife to write one.
Morgan, I love to see you using the schyle to cut he grass. My Grandady, Lon Roush, was born in 1887 and probably began farming when he could toddle after my great grandfather, Spencer Roush. You seem to have a good rhythm using the schyle. Seeing the continuing of farming makes me smile.
Nice farm, I wish you well with the future of the farm.
I'm glad to hear this story! We're actually preparing to start our own homestead and I had an idea of keeping a goose or two with a flock of ducks for protection :) I was worried that ducks alone could be targeted by hawks 🙀
Hope this will work out this way!
I said the same thing. As a Pet Goose owner i have done much research over the years and the likely hood of a goose turning against someone they imprinted on, is extremely low. Goose imprint lasts for life.
Keep goslings with ducks. Geese are very protective of their flocks (whatever their flocks contain humans, ducks, dogs or geese). So introduce geese to ducks early so they get imprinted on them. Also you might cuddle goslings more so they get used to humans(pros and cons to that).
Yes I always have a spike of excitement when you upload
Your farm is so gorgeous, I dont think I've ever seen that much green in one place in my life.
I love little Ran Swanson!
And I think you should keep her with the Gosling’s, they’re her family!
They seem to be getting along REALLY well!
Also... I LOVE THOSE BABY CHICKENS!!!!! I have some that are now about 3 to 4 weeks old I think they’re adorable! 😍
I don't understand how you have the time and energy to do all the farm work, record and edit these videos and making sure the farm remains a profitable business.
As someone who one day would like to live the farm life, I really enjoy your videos.
"When I eat, it is the food that's scared" - Ron Swanson
I love it whenever ducks come when they're called. We could get ours to come running whenever we'd yell "LETTUCE!"
Parks and Rec is my favorite show! I love ron Swanson
You should now name one of the goslings Ryan Gosling
Why
This is definitely the best farm on UA-cam.
She is the most BEAUTIFUL 🦆-goose I’ve ever seen! ❤️🦢🦆🐥😍
I've been watching your videos for a little over a year, and I'm so happy to see how your farm and channel has grown. I always appreciate the creativity, humer and honesty you put into your videos. It brightens my day everytime I see a new one. Much love from Minnesota, Keep up the good work!
its nice you showed all was well at the end, when my only goose experience is from watching your old geese, it could have been a feather pile for all i knew when you opened that door :D
I'm currently having a sleepless night and these videos are comforting. Thank you Morgan.
Please don't try to separate I love Ron Swanson and his little flock of goslings. I've found your channel by mistake a week ago and I've nearly watched all of your videos, my goodness it's fun and kind of like having a little adventure with you and Toby dog. I'm surprised how well maintained and prosperous your farm has become over time. The dynamics of each flock plays so well I'm amazed.
Dude. This is such a fun wholesome channel.
Toby, Ron, and the gosling crew sounds like a wonderful kid's book.
Oh that's beyond cute ..I hope they all stay in their lil gang when they grow up that would be truly awesome 😁😁😍
thank you for making the lives of farm animals a better place. You fill the role of provider and caretaker admirably.
Hope Ron's crew becomes the future goose protectors of the quackin' flock. The Quackin' Honkin' flock.
I just found this channel and I've been binging some episodes and it has got to be the most relaxing and slowly inspiring channel I found in a while . Thank you so much and I wish you the best of luck.
Ducks and chickens living toghether, MASS HYSTERIA!
I had 3 ducks, 2 hens, 2 geese, and a tom turkey and they were a flock! They lived together in the same house & enclosure at night and during the day they were always together with no fighting. My male gander protected the ducklings my females hatched and never showed any interest in the female goose I'd gotten just for him!! Watching your videos bring back a lot of wonderful memories for me! Thank you so very much! 💞🦆🐔💞 Sorry, I don't have any geese!! Hugs to all the feather babies. 💞🐈💞🐕💞. Love from Pa. Wishing Lil Barn kitty a speedy recovery. 💙🙏💙
Glad you are letting the little duck stay with her mates..🥰
I find this channel comforting. I love watching a Gold Shaw Farm video before starting my day. Thank you.
this guy running a bird civilization
Toby tumbleweeds...HILARIOUS!
I don’t know how to tell you this, but the effort you put in your content makes my mornings. Thank you!❤️
Yes a video about Ron Swanson
Hello Morgan! Ron swanson teaches us a lesson in life. No matter what you are, we can co exist with each other!
One Of My Baby Swans Thinks Shes A Goose Too xD. Wow Thanks For All The Likes Everyone!!!!
The Ugly Gooseling.
I hope she's treated better than the ducks treated their adopted swan.
zakuraRabbit Right Now Shes Fitting In Perfectly 😃
When I was a kid we had chickens, 2 ducks and 2 geese all cooped in a 10x10 metal shed. There was a small pump house in the yard that the ducks laid in and hatched (we didn’t know until they hatched). The geese laid and hatched a nest under the roosts in the shed. There was no issues with aggression with any of them. I think it is just a matter of co-habitation. Just my novice opinion. Thanks for the video. .
GRACIAS AMIGOS FROM TORONTO CANADA THANKS SO MUCH. WE LOVE YOUR CHANEL..
I don’t why but these videos are so relaxing.
Please keep duckie ron s.love to hear how she is doing, God Bless you and your farm !!
Often while watching the birds/cats/Toby Dog & listening to the musical accompaniment, I get Peter & the Wolf vibes. Provides wonderful memories of childhood classical music introduction.🐔🦆🐈🎹🎶😊
I wake up every Monday and Thursday excited to watch your videos lol. They’re very entertaining!
The scary home made mother duck reminds me of the bit in the Simpsons where homer builds Bart the clown bed 😂
Another great day on your homestead! You are so understanding with all of your crew. And, your property is looking good.
A cache is what I think you meant. That is a store of hay, or leaves, or money; put aside for later use. Ms. Ron is adorable. Perhaps the Quacken will see Ms. Ron and allow the goslings into their crowd. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Our crested Pekin, Jimmy, is now nine. Three years ago we brought home feed store goslings. Jimmy raised the goslings. The geese think they’re ducks. The three - Jimmy, Morticia and Gomez - go everywhere together. Now that Jimmy is showing his age, Tish and Gomez protect him from the other birds. It’s sweet. I wouldn’t worry at all about Ron Swanson.
Seriously edifying. Thanks very much for letting us in.
I don’t have a single pet or farm but I love watching these videos
only started watching the channel for a day or two can already tell toby is the star of the channel
I think their love will last forever .... and it is 2020 ... love is love
It’s 3 AM and I can’t stop watching
15:35 - "I can fly... no"
it's nice how kind you are to your animals
In these times, I am not surprised to see a duck that identifies as a goose.
LOL!
hawkturkey they will get on fine with each other. If a donkey is raised with 6 horses they would be fine the donkey just assumes he is a horse. Same with if a cat raised a little terrier puppy with its little kittens since they were babies they would be great friends.
Lol
Having the parks and rec crew stay with the quacken seems like an interesting middle ground between Ron having to go full goose or be separated and put back with the ducks.
Awwwww love all the birds🦆🐤🐣🦢 and love Toby 🐾♥️😊
Such a happy little homestead. Fills me with joy to see all of these happy little guys living together in their little crews
i own a yorkie... i don't have any farm animals, but for some crazy reason i find i cannot help myself watching your videos... Interesting lifestyle... :)
I love it how you put the gang in, fast forward they still come out together. Only way to break them up is to bring Yoko Dukono.
The cat's smaller than you and Toby and you don't see any problems there. Thanks for the videos!!! 😸😸😸
You r soooo kind to ur animals......
toby has my entire heart
Yes, I am so glad she is a girl
The Ron Swanson crew are soooo cool!
Your choice of sound track is spot on
I'm glad you're keeping track of all these birds, Morgan, because I'm losing it a bit. I completely forgot about the chicks and was kind of surprised with all the ducks on the ramp as they came out of their house. As I said, I'm glad that you're in charge.! Looking at it all together you're setting up quite the farm for yourself! One last thing, Lordy that grass is tall! It seems like just last week there was snow on the ground. Good job. Loved the video. Have a good weekend!
Could call her ronnie swanson that means she still gets to keep the Ron in her name if that makes sense lol. She is cutie though she's my favourite lil duckling 🦆but I really like all of your barnyard animals especially the cats 🐈🐾 Toby dog is really sweet and loving and such a beautiful doggo and is such a good guard dog 😊
Release the quaking...my favorite part of your videos. Lol very cute. 🦆
I love the background music in these videos.
Morgan, I have been watching your wonderful videos since you started and this is the best one you have made. It has a closeup of Toby's tongue and lots of duck faces, long views of June Vermont skies, a reality check of how a real working farm looks(it's not manicured) and then there is you. You care for your animals and give them the best possible life and you are working your ass off to build your's and Alison's dream all the while staying so creative. I hope everything you guys dream comes true. Vermont and this country need people like you.
Thank you! I really appreciate that you have been following along.
0:11 You always shush Toby Dog but he is never the one who makes noise.
He's not telling Toby to be quiet, he's saying "let's keep quiet while we open the door to the duck house", it's an inclusive "shhhh"
HAHAHA
Little Ron Swanson duckling now owns me heart, thanks!
I love the fact that you take Ron Swanson's heart into consideration. You just gained another subscriber.
I love your humor. I don't know the character Ron Swanson but it is amusing.
Lovely video Morgan, Ron Swanson is adorable!
Awww fingers crossed for chilled geese that tolerate the ducks.
“a butt-load of aggression” 😹 Pablo: Hold my caught mouse.
Watching this again 10 months later. Still a great story! So amazing to see how much the farm has changed in almost a year!
Love watching your farm life. Hope you have good luck with the new trees. Best wishes.
Thank you!
I have to admit this video would have to be one of my top "10" videos to watch. Ron Swanson is something else. I love your storytelling. I don't know how many times I have gone over your videos. They are so entertaining, and I enjoy watching how your farm is growing. Truth be told I started watching in either September or early October 2020.
The one duck at the end that came out with the Goslings and Ron like:
"I GOT CAUGHT IN THE CORNER OKAY? ITS NO LIKE WE'RE FRIENDS OR ANYTHING!"
This was such a pleasure to watch. Thank you! I’ve followed you about 5-6 months, but I have been saving this. So glad I did. It is a lovely little gem!
