- So my duck just started laying black eggs. What does that even mean?!? Is it an omen of bad times to come or something else? Cayuga duck time on the duck farm!

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.

Sooo cute when they come around the corner and see the water. Their wings just go crazy. Like little kids heading to the pool.
A ducks checklist for entering water:
1: locate water
2: orient yourself towards the water
3: flapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflap
You left off a couple:
4: dredge up muck and filth
5: crap nonstop
Dwight Mansburden 6 cause bacteria cesspools
Am ducc. Can confirm.
7. Poop more then eat a fish out of water & repeat until leave water
XD I love this!
Release the Quacken!" never gets old. But "Ye Olde Quack House" might be a nice alternative.
Wife: what are you watching?
Me: ducks breaking ice...?
😂🤣😂
Time to break the ice 😆
XD
Imagine if you pretended like you “got caught in the act”, and tried to shut off your phone, and then she grabs it all suspicious-like to see what you were _really_ up to...and boom. Ducks. 😆
@@Emiliapocalypse that would be an odd day at couples counseling :P
"And than he tried to hide from me the fact he was looking at ducks. *Ducks!* "
It does certainly seem that the duck pond has been a smash hit overall.
A beacon of success.

It is fun to watch the ducks head to the pond....it's almost like children seeing the beach and wanting to be first in the water. I hope the pond stays full all year. Those black ducks are beautiful but then all the ducks are. Stay well and have a Blessed day.
I love the sun shining in the horizon, I love Toby's expression as he waits for you to let him out and I love how the ducks pitter pat and quack and flutter all the way to the pond. Your music makes it so much fun too! Thanks for the happy wake up. Praying for Allison and her staff's safety 😊👍
Hey, when Toby's fur falls out in the spring, take the downy underfur and you can make stuff out of it. One time I had a hole in my boot and it was zero degrees outside - my feet were so cold! And I remember reading how shepherds take the fur of sheep and shove it in their boots. And I had my husky down and put it in my boots, no more freezing feet. Felt like a brand new pair of Ugg boots, to be honest. Also, the fur is sweat wicking - your feet will sweat, sure, but the moisture dissipates. Weird, right? Anyway, you can comb the fur into wool strands and then spin it into yarn. It's rather nifty.
BlackSeranna I half wish I knew how to spin yarn, my dogs shed really soft underfur.
You can make it into yarn, but it is way too warm to make anything out of. We used Samoyed fur and made mittens that were so warm you couldn’t keep them on- and we were in Maine! We finally just used it as details on socks (the froth on a beer) and a sweater (just a fluffy dog), which made it much more useful.
My college has a pond full of Mallards and swans that I feed peas and seeds and I love them. Unfortunately, we had to leave campus due to the coronavirus and I miss them, but I’m glad I have the quacken to keep me from having duck withdrawal. Someday after I have a steady job, I’ll make sure to get a house with a big yard so I can take care of a few ducks/geese. Thank you for sharing your farm because it has made me really fall in love with aquatic birbs.
I saw lots of good behavior from Toby Dog, he will make a fine guardian dog.
That means a witch flew over your farm at night and cursed the egg, but now you can make void mayonnaise!
😂 Jk I love stardew valley
I came here looking for a comment like this xD
@@TealStoneHomestead haha, me too, had to scroll a while before I found some SDV fans ^_^
Yessss
@@HisameArtwork same
just don't gift it to anyone ;)
We have 6 Cayuga ducklings (hopefully all female!) - just hit 3 weeks old today. I know we have a while to wait for the eggs.
We named them Dethquak (as a collective), and they have been growing so fast! I don't envy that cold weather though. It's been getting into the 80s during the day so I've been letting them forage outside under supervision. It's definitely nice to let the little stinkers out to watch them learn to swim!
I love the different music for the different animals. Very Peter and the Wolf.
I love Cayouga ducks!! I’ve always wanted to get some but I don’t have the space. Toby is so cute!! The ducks are so happy when they see the water!!

Aw, I subscribed! But you should be careful about selfpromoting, your channel might get banned:)
Margie’s egg is blue ❤️ I really enjoyed this video. You and Kyle the Rooster are two of my faves. Hi from Australia!
Ice Breaker Geese!! .....and I suspect the Ducks were all 'whoa, Geese, is that the *best* you can do - it's just cold & hardened water! Sheesh!'
+points for stardew valley reference!
+points for Fargo reference!
And Lo, in that time of pestilence, plague and locusts, of war and rumors of war, there was hatched in the North lands the fel beast Gotterdamurduck, the Black Fowl of the Apocalypse.
And the angel opened the seal and a voice called out "release the Quacken!!!!"
@@constancemiller3753 Good One!!! LOL

This channel and the comment section here, never fail to brighten my day considerably 👏👏👏
LOL! Love it!
welp-
Chicken eggs - great
Duck eggs - allergic
Goose eggs - come on we’ve been waiting months to find out which way it’ll go!!!!
Rachael H I am allergic to cats
Really 😆
Yep
People are having a massive argument in this comment section look at the latest comments it is on my comment people are shouting and getting mad lol
Maybe you are not allergic to duck eggs but to eggs from a duck that ate something you are allergic to?
Because egg is just that. An egg. Depending what the hen eats the egg may be a killer or a life saver.
Toby dog! At :52 you stop paying attention to him so he did the same. Working dogs actually have a pretty long attention span. If you train them like a duck.

Love your videos man, they are just so wholesome and relaxing. Stay safe during these troubling times
Tobyyyyyyyyyy
Here’s a Pro Egg-laying tip. In the winter, shine a heat lamp into the egg-laying area of your chicken coup and you’ll basically have breakfast all year long
Omg, I had no idea you could do this! I'll have to keep that in mind for next year!
One can do this, but I heard the stress of not having their winter break in laying will shorten the life span.
My dad used to have chickens and we out in a heat lamp for the chickens in the coup so that they wouldn’t get so darn cold during the winter. but also kept them laying consistently.
Such an inspiration Morgan! We just incubated/hatched a bunch this weekend. Our first ducks. 10 Khaki, 6 runners.
Geese are like "what ice, I don't see any ice"
I saw a black egg at my park last week in a nest.
Diamond Vortex hmmm I think this a domestic duck but ok
It might be a different duck but I hope it’s this one.
I’ll search up wild ducks with black eggs I’ll reply when I find out
Diamond Vortex There are wild versions of this duck
Beat me to it
We had a pond for our duck so she could swim and bathe. During the winter, it would freez over snd she got really angry. She stands on the layer of frozen ice amd quacks _very_ loud to get us to break the ice 🤣🤣
Maybe you should get an icebreaking pole cause watching you stamp into the ice of that pond gave me anxiety lmao
I hope he does get one because I am afraid of him slipping into the deep water, and with all that winter clothing on...Maybe he could throw rocks to break the ice instead. Or let the geese into the pond first.
I concur. That pond doesn't have a gradual increase in depth. There's a *steep* drop off about two steps out.
Maybe a little aerator or cheap “ice eater” would work. A cheap trolling motor with a 12 volt batt would work until spring. Just an idea!
Maybe a hose with airstream air bubbles that will prevent the ice to form at all?
I don't know if that's possible?
I get such a smile every time those ducks come running down the ramp.
Cayuga ducks are my favorite! I love how they lay dark at the beginning of the season. Shame it doesn't stay that way for long
I love seeing the ducks have fun in the pond! So cute
Watching from the future (October 2024). Thank you, Morgan, for the link!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow! I'm so jealous! I can't wait for my geese to lay eggs to incubate next spring
I just noticed, "ye olde quack house"
Him: rELEASE THE QRUACKIN!
ducks: *waddle waddle waddle waddle*
As always, loving Toby, the ducks, the geese, and the pond! Cay-YUUUUUUUUU-GAAAAAAH‼️
I love it when you can hear the ice sing. (Not so much when I'm stood on it mind..)
So cool to watch the ducks and geese running to the pond. They are so happy there all day. 💖

;__;
Loved all your videos but particularly liked the one about the high school dance and your kind friend that died. Thank you for sharing.
Someone should make an animated short film with very dramatic music about a bunch ducks trying to cross a pond with a thin layer of ice on it. I hope the void egg hatches I’ve seen a few void chickens but never a void duck 😂 I’m incubating my first chickens right now they are all different crosses so it’ll be fun to see what I get.
Hi...... Gold Shaw Farm, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Its pretty awesome to see all the eggs in contrast like that! Those geese eggs are so much bigger than a chickens!
A much smoother transition than last time, look how excited they got too!
watching and listening to ducks brings me happiness
The Ducks and Geese are very happy and it didn't go take long for the whole pond to be ice free. Peace Be With You ☮️
I love the sound of their feet plopping down the ramo. And lets all be honest the quakes are very soothing.
Watching those ducks walk on the patches of unbroken ice made my morning!
The music is so soothing while looking at those ducks and geese
Love that Toby boy! Lmao at the ducks! And the commentary is absolutely hilarious!! Your animals are lucky to have you!
Happy ducks and geese! I love their reaction when they realized they were going to the lake.
RELEASE THE QUACKEN!!!!
Ahaha that was great!!
Also Toby is darling. Not all livestock dogs are so gentle, and not all Great Pyrs even. I used to have one named Melody, we adopted her as a wise old woman, after she’d lived her whole life as a breeding dog in a puppy mill. She only lived with us for a few years before passing, but she brought us so much joy, and we like to think we gave her a loving home to live out her golden years. I miss her so much!
I love how they just fly to the water, I see the geese managed to get some good air time. I’ve just put my 1st batch of goose eggs in the incubator, collecting for round 2 and also got turkey eggs eventually.
Good morning. I hope you have a successful hatching year. Be well! ✌🏻🇨🇦
Kiwi MacScottish I love your name
It's such simple, downright fun watching your videos. Thank you.
I really enjoy seeing all the animals on the pond so peaceful and so beautiful so serene❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
im loving being entertained and learning so much. i just lost my dog, so my cats and i are watching your videos together. i learn, and the cat sitting on me likes watching all the birds.
I like to start my day with a nice cup of wholesome content.
I don't know why people don't like your videos. You are one great human who loves your animals. I subscribed to your channel for this reason
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
@@GoldShawFarm thank you, I appreciate seeing people being people. I love it and also I'm learning from you. I say to my dog , come here and he understands run away quickly. I love your natural human care and my daughter loves your videos too, she 20.
So the saying is true, “like ducks to water.” I loved seeing them get the first whiff of the pond and fly to it. They make great little icebreakers too. Nice job!
damn this is the life i really want
I agree! The dream!
I also live in Vermont and so it’s really fun seeing one of my favorite youtubers having the exact same weather as I am. Also awesome Fargo reference.
The eggs are so totally normal!! Our Cayuga lays the same too. they are so pretty. My Cayuga is half white now lol. They get grey when older
I really enjoy you videos. You are an amazing story teller and your filming is on the pro level. Thank you for all you do. ~Smile! 🌻🙂
A void egg is a pretty deep cut reference to Stardew Valley hahaha. That’s awesome. If only we all had a Krobus we could go buy some from 🤷♀️
That sound of the ice at 3:39...
loved the timelapse. Those are some happy waterfowl.
Yay! New show! We're are happy, and our dog is crazy excited!
Im heaving some of the same issues atm, due to this pandemic i want to increase the amount of chickens i have. But non of my hens seem to agree yet, im going to let my hens incubate and raise the chicks all naturally.
The hatching period plus 1 or 2 days require extra attension, if needed i help chicks to get out of the eggshel because if they take to long they might get crushed by the hen.
Once the chicks and hen leave the nest keep an close eye on the most dominant hen in your flock, last year i had a bad fight between the "alpha" hen and the mother hen and that had never happend before.
Thanks for your videos and stay save all.
We used to have a boss chicken like that.
It got to the point where she even started crowing. She didnt sound quite as nice as a rooster would, but she crowed!
Fun fact about the white pekin ducks : They always finish last! LOL
Ahhh those ducks breaking the ice really brings back memories of throwing corn or peas in the middle of a slightly frozen lake to have ducks break the ice. Fun times
Yep I am getting some Cayugas next month. They don’t lay as much as other breeds but their black eggs are interesting.
You sourced the perfect music for this video. Thanks for taking our minds off this horrible world virus situation.
Love your videos
It really is amazing to see the difference between the various eggs, both in color and size.
Morgan, you have a speck of dirt on your camera lens and it has been in the last several videos you have made. It looks like dirt on this end and I hope it's not sense damage.
Perfect music for the geese
The pond looks great!
This is such a wholesome channel, I love it so much
Toby is such a great dog :)
I love seeing humans contenting with ice, they are so ungraceful.
_some duck or goose somewhere in the world
I like those 2 white ducks, they are so vibrant and smart and adaptive to harsh weather. BTY your geese might need better accommodation (larger housing) so they can have more egg laying places.
i have no idea how i found your channel but i'm so glad I did these videos are always super wholesome and nice
That black duck is Beautiful and the egg was cool
Ducks are one of the most cutest and behave animals. And ur doggy is the number 1 good boi :>
Your pup is just gorgeous 🥰
Thanks for getting back to me.
The pup is getting so big! And so smart :D
You're having more fun then the ducks breaking up the ice. Have you seen the ducks that vineyards in Europe hire to eat bugs up and down the rows? Once your farm is fenced in they will keep bugs out of all your orchards too. My son is allergic to the white membrane which anchors the yolk. Try taking that off and maybe you will do okay eating eggs. Really enjoy your channel.
I didn't think i could love you anymore...then you mentioned Stardew valley! You sir, are awesome!
Awww...thanks!
How well I remember that season in New Hampshire!
I just love how at 2:34 the ice sheet the ducks are standing on collapses and they all fall back into the water 😂
You need some Swans and Turkeys and some guinea fowl. Margie needs her own bantam flock. I just love watching your channel. 💜
Greetings Morgan, just a thought I pray that ice isn't sharp enough to cut them. 🙏🏼. My husband and I truly enjoy your channel. Thanks 😊 for sharing .
All Jason's black chickens are Bernice. The fowl love their pond.
Toby really IS the goodest boy❤️
that doggo is super cuteeeeeeeeeeeee !!! almost as cute as the ducks!
Tobys doing a great job
Toby is such a cute dog...
