- We just got 31 goslings. We are raising goslings for meat on our farm. Here's our gosling brooder setup and all of the details on how we plan to raise the goslings. They are pilgrim and embden geese It's a bit different from duck farming!
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.

“Bonus gosling” is my favorite thing now.
Now that's my kind of unboxing 🤣💜🦆
Breathing new life into an abandoned farm, new animals.....awesome!!
The geese will love the grass in the farm. And I predict they will be TH-cam stars.
They are very photogenic!
Omg the green color of the grass, so BEAUTIFUL.
Awwww,a box full of pepper,s a. best way to start the day 😍🕊️💖💮🌸
St Francis would be happy with your obvious care for your animals.
Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Geese are a whole different animal than ducks. They eat vegetation where ducks eat grain and bugs.
I love Pilgrim geese. I raised 2 geese and a gander. The gander and one of the geese hatched out 5 goslings. The lighter gosling is a gander and the darker one is the goose. The adult male Pilgrim looks like an Emden and the female looks like a Tulouse. I raised mine hands on and they were pretty tame. I could even hold my adult gander on my lap. At least until breeding season. Most of the time he was a pussy cat but during breeding season he was hell on webbed feet. And don't poo poo those goose teeth. Their bills are serated so they can cut through tough vegetation. They can also cut skin. Just ask my dad. My gander laid his leg open 4". They like to grab hold of you with their bills and flog you with their wings too. I've had many bruises from that and almost had my wrist broken by a ganders wing. Again all that happened during breeding season. The problem is only the gander knows when that is. In Southeastern Colorado it can start as early as February it just depends on the weather.
Perhaps you are planning to eat them and not breed them. Personally, I would eat the Emdens and breed the Pilgrims because the Emdens are larger and the Pilgrims are in danger of becoming extinct. Plus you tell the males from females right after hatching. That's why I had them.
That’s some outstanding info. Thank you for sharing.
HEY ALISON!!! YOU LOOK DARLING WITH YOUR BABIES!!!!
These guys are gonna make OUTSTANDING watch dogs !!!!
PROCEED WITH CAUTION !!!
Geese work as watch dog when they are alone. If you keep multiple geese together they will bond with eachother instead of bonding with the flock you want them to protect.
All safe and sound. Good deal from the hatchery.
Hey Morgan is the heating plate to low? They should be able to get under it comfortably. It looked a little low to me wasn't sure with camera angle etc
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe put blocks under the legs to raise it high enough for ducks/geese they are bigger than chicks. I personally LOVE the radiant heat plates!
Definitely using the heating plate wrong. Adjust those yellow polls on the corners to increase height. May need to raise even further since these are geese, not chickens.
I love gosling's toasted on a barbecue, they are surprisingly good coated in brown sugar! 🍜
You're gonna love the pilgrims. The embden can be a little feisty at times. Make sure you feed them the proper diet and protein amounts. It differs from most ducks. Geese can easily get screwed up bones if too much protein causes them to grow too fast. Pay close attention to that and niacin supplement. You're gonna love em, we do.
They look quite cute and not at all like the mean creatures that most geese are. I’m interested to see if they actually stay nice with all your socializing. ~Heather
I sure hope so. Either that or I just acquired a flock of dragons!
Nice music to go with a great video.
United we Stand I was thinking the same, music is awesome!
Those little flappy wings! I found your channel about a week ago and its quickly becoming my favorite channel. Duckies!
Geese on the Farm...the new series...watch it...learn it...love it.
Awe. Reminds me of when I used to look after a bunch of real chicks on an acreage once too.
How lucky you are with that snow !
Love how you are well prepared and set up for them they are sooo gorgeous and Allison seems too really love them as well.
My girlfriend hatched out three Toulouse geese and she actually named them Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion.
I’m probably keeping three or so for breeding next year. Those geese will probably end up with names like Balerion, Vhagar and Meraxes.
I bet only Drogon will survive.
Cool!
who fucking cares
@@bkbj8282 dude you are being rude on every video just stop.
We used to house our lab in an outdoor kennel and run when we were out during the day and overnight, as he was very destructive on soft furnishings if not watched ! I went to let him out one morning as usual and found the shed dark and cold and him crouched in the corner looking scared, poor guy. It turned out that the glass heated lamp I used above the dog box had shattered. It was on a chain and I always had it at a safe height to allow plenty of room so I figured it must have blown. You have to change all the bedding ( sawdust in his case ) as those tiny shards go everywhere. Luckily my dog wasn't injured. I feel the reptile kind are safer. Great vid - lovely to see your new residents settling in : )
Shalom! Your farm is so beautiful and I enjoy viewing your videos. You and yours be blessed!
Congratulations 🎊 on your new additions!!
The ducks look so peaceful waddling in the snow 💕
“Get galmour shots of us” LOL 🥰
Gooslings are adorable. Im hatching my own. I had 21 hatching eggs and i got 7 gooslings out of it. and now im getting 40 new goose eggs to hatch out. emden ftw, remember they need to eat grass or they will just expect food from you all their life. . Looking forward to updates on these geese :) Good luck!
I am over-run with goslings, I have already successfully hatched 49 goslings and 52 are set to hatch next week. All cotton patch geese, wonderful birds, best for mowing, great mothers and are not hostile.
@@elhombredeoro955 Awesome! Im so jealous now! :D
We had a pet goose. When our children were young they would awaken at loud noises. If my husband would sneeze, the goose would honk loudly. My husband would try to muffle the sound of his sneeze but the goose, who was outside in his pen, would still hear him.
Guard geese!
Beautiful Goslings, we wish you and the new babies the very best. 👍👍
Was listening to this video today. And then got to the part where you said you'd heard stories of the heat lamps exploding.
WOW, that really happened to me. Its real. They can do that. Just thought I'd say that.
Hold them daily. That goes a long way
So true! Our gosling is 3 months old now and still runs to us to be held like a baby!
Yea, I held mine, let them snuggle and sleep on me, sat with them every morning for an hour while they ate and explored our home, hand fed them. Fast forward 10 months, my gander is a mean monster! He hisses and threatens everyone, including me! It's such a shame, you would think there would be loyalty. My goose is sweet. Mr. Magoo the gander, may have to go.
I did this for like a hour but they got vary aggressive
@@getsmart9987 where's Gold Shaw farm located at?
@@alexandhisgangbangingrats4023 u spelled very wrong
Love geese. I used to raise Sebastapols, which are essentially fluffy emdens. In addition to meat birds you also have new lawn mowers and watch dogs for your ducks!
Those reptile lamps are a game changer! Truthfully we were told that a lot of the mistakes with heating lamps come when the bulb is too high in voltage for the lamp. People don't realize that a lot of lamps on the market aren't actually rated for the average heating lamp then you get BOOM.
I just love seeing your town it is a slow pace just the way like it.
I would hold my lil ducklings, love on them, made sure they saw me all the time, and now they are grown, and they don't want anything to do with me.
Peckham? What an appropriate name for your town!!!
Aww. So cute.
Wonderful! Wishing you two success with the ducks/geese. Thanks for posting info about them via your videos. Baby animals.. too sweet & adorable. ☺
Hey there Piligram!
I have 2 ducks who hatched last summer under a broody chicken hen. They spent nights sleeping under the chicken coop until just a few months ago. I started making a big effort last year to get them to join the older ducks (bought summer of 2017) in the kennel. Most nights they just refused, but late winter they finally started joining the older ducks and geese in the kennel at night. I always give them a treat at night. But every morning when I open the gate, those 2 ducks go off by themselves. The 2 geese go off together, and the older ducks go off together. They will spend the day in 3 distinct groups. My geese were adults when I got them so I never saw them grow up.
I've raised chickens, ducklings and a few geese. I used to fret over setting up the heat lamps and getting the temperature just right. Now I just put a heat lamp in a brooder add the chicks, observe, and they will tell you how comfortable they are and how you adjust your heat lamps. Good luck.
That’s very good advice!
Aw!! They are cute little fuzzballs of love! Good luck with this new venture Morgan!!
So cute! Cant wait to see them grow. God bless!
Within the first two hours of hatching is when waterfowl imprint, so because the goslings have only seen one another, it's difficult to make them imprint on you.
Nice choice in trucks!
I hatched a dozen ducks currently 3 weeks old and two turkeys 1 week old, can’t wait to eat them lol. I’m considering some Chinese geese but don’t know if I really want to, I’m yet to build a proper yard for the 4 adult ducks I have now, I suppose I’ll have to with 16 ducks 🦆5 turkeys 🦃 6 chickens 🐓 running around🐝🦃🦆🐓👌👍
Awesome video! And great idea about the peat moss bedding, curious to see how it works out
next week will be the first to order chicks thru the USPS for me. Use to order honeybees but the post office quit that here. Mines coming from Murray MacMurray.
When my ducks got bigger I used a gallon ice cream tub with a hole on the side for their water and it worked so much better, they can get their heads in but not their body.
Cutest post office ever. Cutest goslings 😍😍
I'm so excited to see that you got your baby goslings. They are so adorable I was grinning from ear to ear watching this video. It is going to be quite fun watching these babies get use to you and your wife. Your wife is so pretty and seem so sweet. I can hardly wait to see this journey begin. Congrats. on your newest additions. Loved the video.
Thank you!
Hi mail ladies!!
He's swallowing some chop straw! Beautiful!
Just started watching your videos . Love learning from you . Thanks for sharing your farm life videos. They are awesome 🤟🏼 lots of love from Ohio! 🤟🏼🇺🇸🤟🏼
Love watching your videos! I grew up in Groton and love seeing the familiar countryside.
heat lamp being too high is better than too low because they can always move out to cool off.
almost exactly a year later and it’s happening again :)
Beautiful country your very lucky, yes your excited.
Congratulations on your goslings, I am happy to see your farm growing.
They are too cute. I laughed out loud when you dropoed that egg.
This is exciting To watch you raise a group of goslings from day old on up.I just hatched 7 myself. THE FUN Begins.
I use the heat plate and my goslings love it. The water is fine in those to start but I had to soon change as they grew. One big difference from ducks I found is that goslings are not as messy as ducks with the water. It’s my 1st year for ducks and goslings. Love them both. My goslings are really friendly. Been seeing your goslings progress on Instagram and Facebook. Cannot wait to see more. Keep up the good work.
thanks for sharing that bit of info, good to know. I hear how messy ducks are all the time, glad geese are not so messy.
WooHoo Baby's are here. Thanks for sharing.
Your new subscriber. I am really looking forward to watch these cuties grow.
infrared thermometers work nicely
Thank you for making these geese videos. I'm seriously considering getting some of the purportedly best forager breeds for a low-input meat production bird and for their use as alarm animals. With year round grass I'm expecting it would be a worthwhile endavour.
I've had chickens my whole life and never thought I'd say this in a million years, but I'm growing pretty over a lot about them. With health troubles that randomly effect my ability to do just about anything I'm really starting to like the idea of having animals that will feed themselves if I physically cannot manage to walk on a given morning. No large predators here so just having a decent open lean-to as shelter from the elements would be feasible.
I'm going to watch the rest of your goose videos now that I realize you have more (from seeing this playlist of Pastured Geese). Thank you for sharing your accrued knowledge on these guys. The more I find out about them the more I think they may be a superior and very viable way forward in terms of meat production. I will still probably have a few other poultry types to cover egg production.
My favorite geese are the Emden geese
my good sir, if you want a premium bedding that will cut all the smell you've got to use calcium carbonate....as a bonus it take the acid out of your compost so you'll never burn your plant if the manure is still young. dont take my word for it ask around =)
PS its only 10 buck for a 90 pounds bag
Congratulations on your new babies
Very nice Mother Morgan!
Ha ha ha.
Oh how great , new babies !
Hey Morgon, im LOVING this place! Living here on the farm is awesome. Those goslings are SO cute! Hope they have a GREAT life! Like im having. Living on gold shaw farm I get everything I would need, having geese will be hard, but fun! Just sayin’ living here is great, I stole your phone.
Awesome Morgan! We are excited for you!
Thanks!
I just picked up 3 Gosling (brown Chinese, brown African, embed) from the post office yesterday too, I just did hatchery choice. Love your channel, your videos are nicely done. Thanks for the info on the heat elements. I might try those ceramic heat bulbs!
They are so cute...good idea to have them get use to you two. 😄👍
Exciting! The new brooder set-up looks like a winner, it will be interesting to see what heat soirce they prefer.
I jumped when you dropped that egg, it scared me. Haha! The one good thing about May snow where we live is it will be gone the next day!!
Looks like weather in OLD SCOTLAND
So cute, thanks for sharing
Just like weather in old England!
Great stuff, love how you used peat, that was neat....same with the watering set up, I love the use of hardware cloth (I have some 1/4" left over I could use). Now I need to check out all you duck videos!
Make sure heat emitters are on ceramic ballasts.
The brooder plate is too low, it needs to be higher so they can get under it!
Something funny about ducks sorta waddle around lol.
Those goslings are soooo cute 😍😍😍
Woo hoo! They are so stinkin' cute!
Ooohhhh weather in new england where i was born and lived most of my life! In southwest Connecticut. And Massachusetts
We added our first goose this year as well, but for protection! We farm both ducks and chickens for eggs and noticed that the only predators we have issues with really are aerial and apparently geese will scare them off. Ours is an African goose, about 3 months old now, and I will say I haven't seen a hawk or a crow nearby since we moved her outside!
I will probably keep a couple of the geese and introduce them into the duck flock for the same reason!
Have you ever tried pine pellets for bedding? You can get them at Tractor Supply they work great!
I need to try that!
I've been working away from home for 9 months and finally go home in a week. I picked up 4 Bantam hens 5 weeks ago to take home. They have been in my bedroom in my apartment in a 40 gal tote. I used pine pellets and you can't even tell they're here. No smell!
Are they mr.and mrs.white duck like donald and daisy. Like your truck. Is it 4 wheel drive. Hopefully no predators from the air and ground. Maybe a children's book starring the bonus big one. Thry are all very cute.
Raise the heating plate - use a couple of breeze blocks/cinder blocks, they shouldn't be able to knock them over at this point
Agreed. I ended up doing this.
So exciting!
Didn't realize you guys were local, greetings from Hardwick!
Hey there, neighbor!
31!?! Holy cow! I had two chicks hatch today lol. We had a total of ten eggs under a broody hen. That’s a lot for me ha ha!
I have a problem with limits! 😂
Morgan's dragon geese! Lol. They are adorable. I totally want a goose (but I worry it would chase my kids).
But maybe that’s not a bad thing. 😂🤣😂
Right as he was picking the gosling’s an ad pops up about toothpaste
Ahh the lawnmowers
Good luck with the goslings. Geese can get scary once they get big.
Sweet. I finally got my own birds. Chickens and ducks. Looking towards geese sometime too. Hopefully you don't wind up being allergic to goose eggs too lol
Ha ha ha. You and me both. Good luck with your flock!
