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.
Toby : *breathes*
Morgan : "so you'll notice Toby there is protecting the animals from predators"
it's pretty much what he does. Just his presence is enough to keep any predators away.
I absolutely love seeing the little goslings waddle out to the pasture, with they're little developing wings held out... You're right, Morgan. Farm life can be pretty stinking Adorable!
I enjoy how there always on a mission, stay in groups, great predator sirens, and they protect. Just over all cute fuzzies.
2:45 It's so adorable how Toby came to keep company to Abby even though she's in puppy jail !
9:25 It's Penguin Chick !
13:45 Abby nooo, not the hunting stance ! Girl your job is on the line !
*I love the gander protecting his family, watching over the chicks. It’s too cute.*
I was amazed at how protective mama goose’s family were of the babies. So cool!
My parrots went absolutely bananas over the mamma goose cam with the little ones. I'd like to request several hours of this with similar upbeat music for when I need to leave them alone, lol. I expect it would become their favorite TV show!!!
Lol I can relate! I hatched 6 mallard ducks this spring. (one died so now we have 5 but that's the way life rolls) They are lovely and a great addition to our farm, but the first few weeks were horrible because they would make such a horrendous mess with the water I gave them to swim in that the bedding was spoiled completely (and I gave them like 1 1/2 inches thick bedding) and I had to change it at least once every two days. And It was very difficult to clean out. Now they are outside and sleep with the chickens at night but free range around the yard during the day and swim in a kiddie pool we have for them, as well as a metal pan that can only fit like two of them but they love it anyway. They eat the chicken feed fine but actually prefer to look for insects in the grass and have also taken a liking to clover. Lucky for them, our lawn has many clover patches and it's like duck heaven. We will let them fly away in the fall if they want to (their wings are not clipped and they are getting quite good at flying, every morning after swimming they like to fly around the yard for a bit) but if they choose to stay we will keep caring for them through the winter, although my guess is that they will fly away. It's been a great adventure raising them and I would totally recommend it to anyone who's up for the challenge, ducks are the sweetest creatures!
leash training is pretty good to somewhat iron out a behavior out of a dog, in essence what you do is with the security of the leach get her to initiate the bad behavior then correct it by disengaging her with the leach, walking her away and making her sit, once she has sit down and focused on you, you let her go and keep making her initiate the bad behavior until she stops doing it, eventually you can remove the leach but keep the collar around or something to grab and control her so if ever she does something bad you give a general command like off or come and regardless of if she obeys or not you go and get her, you walk her away from to situation and make her sit. Eventually she'll know not to do certain thing and also to stop doing something with a command. Rewarding good behavior is also pretty useful but you mainly want to focus on correcting bad behavior.
Molly thought those ducklings were a treat for her at first 😂 she looks so excited when he picks up the first one
While I do enjoy all Gold Shaw Farm videos, the videos featuring babies are my favorites. A long time ago I had 2 pet (Toulouse) geese, Henry and Henrietta. They were young, but almost fully grown, when I got them. Henry adored me and followed me around like a puppy. Henrietta detested me. Occasionally she would even try to attack me. Henry would stand between us, not attack either of us while blocking all of Henrietta's lunges until she got bored and wandered off. I always thought that was ingenious even generous behavior. I have used this technique with my cats at meal time, when one would try to steal the other's food. I would sit between the two cats, doing and saying nothing. After about a week, no food stealing when both cats were present (all bets were off if one cat was snoozing). Loved the goose-cam although Mama Goose was really mad concerning her personal space being violated for a while!
That's an interesting way to train your kitties. Or rather convince them it's more trouble than it's worth to misbehave.
When my kittens were tiny I trained them to leave my plate alone while eating on the couch. I called it playing whack a cat. Kind of like the old carnival game whack a mole. Except I was 'whacking' kittens heads every time they came over my plate. Which really meant I was lightly tapping their head with my fingertip. Just a hey I see you.
Now they just leave my food alone if I get up for a minute. Probably helps that they know I'm probably going to give them a bite anyway.
It's so nice to see mama's goose family recognize her and her babies & protecting them.
Something we had done to stop our dogs rushing the door is distracting them with a loud noise like throwing the keys on the ground. Once they stopped to see where that noise came from we rewarded them.
For trainng a dog it's good to find a middle ground of positive and negative reinforcement especially when it's as important as on a farm.
I can imagine this training could work with Abby, wishing you good luck with her training!
Didn’t get to socialize baby geese at the park this year cause work and my own garden are so hectic, but I’m glad I get to live vicariously through y’all 🥰
Great to see Molly looking so much better. Of course the ducklings are cute. The dogs are fabulous. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe.
Okay but the camera on the mama is genius, cutest content ever 😍
It's so great to watch the family dynamics of the goslings, I love how protective they are as a family group.
This been my favorite so far I like the babies & Toby guarding from a far
The ducklings are so adorable and the unusual looking duckling looks like they're wearing a floofy tuxedo 🐥🦆. Am so glad miss molly is looking so much better I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for her to get back to full health and feel at her 110% best ginny will give her mom some head butt's and nose boops show her she loves her mommy to make her feel better 🐈🐾🐾💖
Wow, all those Babies!!🤘😄
31 Hatchings?! Excellent job, Morgan. Baby ducks are too cute!
It's amazing how the whole family protects the babies.
Abby seems the perfect candidate for an e-collar, and local balanced trainer to show you how to properly use it.
I watch a lot of TH-cam content. So many of the channels I watch become stagnant, repetitious, and boring. Even though your content is somewhat repetitious due to the chores, it is never stagnant or boring. I am completely emotionally connected to your farm and family. You are a first class content creator, I would say, in the top 5%. Thanks for allowing me a window into your world for a few moments each week.
So glad to see Molly murder mittens doing well 😺
Mama goose and her geeslings are loving the grass🌱🌾🍃🌱
They are so cute and I love how the family all came out to meet and protect them. Toby is an awesome guard dog. So happy to see Molly. Glad she's doing well.
Perfect occasion to leash Abby to Toby with a 4 foot lead. I've trained dogs.
I love your social commentary. Do more
It is so great to see daddy goose watching the skies for predators protecting his family
What I love about this channel is that there's always something new going on! There is never a boring video, something surprising happens every time! Well done!
I love seeing how the daddy goose protects the little chicks, keeping watch along with the mama goose.
I love seeing the geese family dynamics. It is really beautiful that they all watch out for each other. Great video!
Haha we have not a guard dog, but a guard cat. Snowbell (the cat) is the real protector of our farm. Normally, he doesn't have much he needs to do but one time one of our neighbor's dogs came up our driveway to check our house out and went crazy when she saw our four-month old mallard ducks that I hatched earlier this spring. Keep in mind this dog is a bird-hunting dog and this was her instinct. She raced to our ducks and grabbed one of them, shaking it violently. Snowbell gets very protective and runs up to the dog with his tail fully puffed up and really gives it to the dog, scratching her up with his VERY sharp claws. (not too bad or anything, the dog was fine) The dog drops the duck and runs off our property. The duck was shaken up but not visibly injured, and my cat calmly herds the duck back to where its friends were waiting. (the other ducks fled and were hiding on the other side of the chicken coop) Then Snowbell walks away as if nothing happened. The dog hasn't come back. For anyone who is still worried about the duck that was attacked, I wasn't home when this happened, my brother and dad witnessed it from inside the house, and when I heard the news I freaked out and rushed to my ducks to make sure they were okay. I couldn't even tell which one was attacked, there was no blood or missing feathers or anything. There weren't any of them limping or seeming like they had a concussion, and after a thorough inspection, I settled on the conclusion that no one got hurt. This was about a month ago and all the ducks are still fine and healthy, thanks to Snowbell. He was really brave, and this was no small dog either, and Snowbell is an average sized cat. Bravery can come in small packages.
Thank you for all your videos, being a farm and animal owner myself I know how hard it can be looking after animals and trying to give them the best life possible. Truely appreciate you showing the farm life.
It's a lot of work for one man!
The goslings put a smile on my face. Thanks
I love your sense of humor with the inserts you adds to your video
Have you tried a shock collar on Abby? It works like the bee experience and electric fence experience. You carry the remote control and she wears the collar. You correct leash free and it's the best
Poor Mumma Goose, she just wanted to chill in her chicken tractor reading her kids stories and poems. But she had to get harassed by her Land Lord. At least she got to reunite with her family, and introduce the goslings to their Dad.
or more like getting the kids out to play outside cuz its a nice day out and to go socialize 😆
Are we gonna have a chicken that thinks theyre a duck situation with that lone chick xD?
Toby is amazing as always xD while hmmm from the looks of things, Abby seems to learn by experience
Ron Chickenson
Thanks for showing us the new animals on the farm Peace out
I love your videos of the geese and ducks. Many years ago I had 2 geese and 3 ducks. The gander wasn't the least taken with the female, but he loved my little white duck and he protected her ducklings like they were his!! Watching your videos brings back so many good memories. Thank you for sharing your farm with us. Love from Pa.
❤️🦆🐓🦢❤️
Your videos always inspire me and make me feel like everything is going to be okay. I may not get a lot of views on my TH-cam videos, but I will never give up. I know in my heart one day I will have a successful Farm as well as a successful TH-cam channel.
goose cam = fluffy jurassic park
She's is one good momma. Love the goose cam.
I feel the same feelings when I let my geese go outside and eat fresh grass, It is really great feelings
It's such a joy to watch the behavior of the goose family. Father Goose was so protective of Mother Goose and their goslings! It was so neat to see him either leading them or 'herding' them and stretching his neck high while on sentry-duty. Thank you so much, Morgan Gold/David Attenborough :-) , for the peak into Goose behavior. :-D
That was I think the greatest quote you've done so far! We're gonna need a bigger boat. Lol
That is so very touching to see her core family unit all being protective of her young.
The gander is definitely sticking close to the new goslings and his mate!
“Checking out the goods there, Toby?” 🤣😂
Those little Wings get me every time LMBO Xx z 💝.
Hope your enjoying your FOURTH 🎉🎊🎇🎆🇺🇸
Molly is such a good little kitty, Molly just wants a treat. 🥰🐤
You need to put up a spacer bar from that far end by the little door . From the warmer so that they stay near the warmer , food and water. As they get older take that spacer and moved it a couple of feet toward the little door then by the time they are 4 to 5 weeks you can take that large board and move it out of the way.
molly seems to be enjoying her recovery break !
Nothing is cuter than a baby duck
I could watch the goslings and the geese just wander all day ♥️😊
Hi Morgan, you spent a huge amount of time training Toby. Have you been able to devote the same amount of time with Abby? Your channel is so much bigger now and you have added the cattle herd. She has a wonderful pedigree so she just needs more time. Take care and
Happy 4th of July.
Just about nothing cuter than baby ducks.... lol l liked the goose cam....Thanks Morgan....Shoe🇺🇸
Mama and Papa goose are so protective, good parents
So, Morgan I’m watching this video again and the little ducklings and the baby goslings are just so cute and adorable I can’t help but looking at them and being proud of you for having so many alive this time.😊♥️
That being said, I was glad you let Abby out to be with you, in the areas the baby goslings were❣️❣️What disappointing me though, was while you were walking her once again, the “ONE” incident was brought up again,
Like a RED BADGE OF DIS-HONOR!!
😂😂😂😂😂 does Abby have to wear this every time she comes out into the barn lot? Is she shame for the rest of her life for the “one “time she made a mistake as a puppy.
That would be like just reminding you of all the mistakes you made as a young farmer and picking one of them to constantly remind you of your failure… And I would never do that Morgan for nothing because I encourage you all the time. My mother used to say this phrase, “be careful the word you speak and say come true”…. I am sure Abby can tell by the tone of your voice every time you mention the “ONE MISTAKE” That you were not proud of her and that she’s done something wrong. I remember the time when my daughter asked me, “Mommy, why when you talk about this person you have a nice happy voice, but when you talk about my Dad, Do you have an angry voice?”…… She was four years old & SO WISE…I immediately went to the library and checked out a book about the words we speak to our children and it changed my life. Please forgive Abby for Her ONE MISTAKE & enter only positive words, positive encouragement To her so she could possibly become very best guardian guard dog do you want for Fold Shaw farms♥️♥️♥️😊😊😊😊😊 dogs want to please and she will take her cues from you. When you walk up to the gate and say , Now, Abby I know you want to play with the baby goslings.. he’s blah blah blah blah blah”…She is already doing your tone and your finger pointing at her and scolding her. How about approaching her fence with more of a… “Come on Abby girl😊 we’re going to go have an adventure❣️I’m excited are you excited. Listen to me and we’ll do good.” Slipping in positive reinforcement tone and phrase words she understands…Dogs don’t need a lot of words they just need simple commands that are positive to be your best friend. I know you know all of this Morgan I just wanted to remind you because my heart hurts Abby! “ The peoples comments or feeding off of you. That’s all I want to say except I love your videos: they are clever and ingenious with lots of good content and camera screening❣️❣️ you’re an excellent farmer and I know will get through this issue regarding Abby… A year from now nobody will be talking about it❣️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Happy July 4th to you Morgan, and Family, And All my American friends from your neighbor to the north!
Truly a birds eye view
She's a good mom.
Your videos are such a bright spot in the world. Something that could help training Abby Dog with the goslings is a shock collar. I am not a huge proponent for them myself, but my parents have used them with their dogs to help train them around the livestock. One of our dogs learned very quickly when they touch the electric fence that they are not supposed to go near there and never tried it again. But one of our other dogs was very interested in the livestock and the shock collar worked really, really well.
'Shock' collars these days are leaps and bounds safer than the ones of old. For example when starting and training your dog to understand what the beep, vibrate, or shock (like a TENS unit) feeling means, on the shock setting you always start at the LOWEST (for example they can go up to 0-100 depending on the brand) setting, and ideally try it on your wrist before touching the dog with it just to be sure. You'd be surprised how many dogs react to something you can hardly even feel yet. My dog absolutely hates the vibrate but is okay with the stronger (15) "shock" settings. Go figure.
@@jiminycrikit9172 that’s good to know they are better now. Interesting that your dog doesn’t like the vibration but doesn’t mind the shock.
Super sweet video. Thoroughly enjoyed. Hugs from N.C..❤️
With the right trainer , Abby would be so much more calmer and further along her journey to being a great and trusted LGDog. Bless her heart.
New ducklings are now the Goon Squad.
ducklings! I could watch ducklings for hours. It's how I found your channel.
I wonder how those little ones feel when they see Toby Dog for the first time, a giant looming over them. But they'd never harm them at all. He's such a good boy.
How sweet!! Thank you for taking us along on your farm story!
I just love seeing precious baby farm animals. Thanks for your video!
Good job mama goose . Congrats Morgan.
Those little ducklings are adorable, including #31!
Love hearing about the geese and how they keep their family together as a unit. We should all be able to relate to the notion of the family unit. I hope the one viable baby of Mr Bucks fertilized eggs makes it, all the new life on the farm is amazing. I'm so glad that you explained how Abby girl has been learning with the bees and the wire. I was also glad that you brought Abby girl out, on a leash, but for a good reason. Keep us updated...
Seeing your progress is a joy. Keep it up. I would love a Duck video.
It might be a good idea to just show the goslings to Abby in a controlled environment, so she can sniff them a bit and satisfy her curiosity. Because it seems like curiosity is what gets her interested initially, and then they run away when she comes to inspect, initiating the playing/hunting instincts of "IT RUNS GOTTA CATCH".
If you already tried this (can't recall), consider this comment a bump lol
Compliment -- you chose such great sound tracks!
Fantastic video mate!
Gotta love getting home from a whole day of work and find a new Gold Shaw Farm video out and ready to be watched! :D
If your looking for a dog training tool, there are Vibrating Collars. NOT shock collars. They don't hurt, but when activated cause discomfort, and are a great correction tool. I always recommend trying it on yourself first, just pressing it up against your arm so you can feel it before you try it on your dog
I would watch A Chick Called Albert on any assisted hatches, I'm sure you might have already, but hes very knowledgable and has some great videos for that if you ever run into issues!
Love the goose cam, what a great thing to watch.. I also am waiting for my 4 chicks to hatch, four days left. ☺️
Abby was fantastic!!
Cute. Glad she’s coming along.
Your pond is looking beat up!
Congrats on your adorable ducklings.
Look at all them babies ttoo precious 😍 💕 💖
for training abby a shock collar will let you have her off the leash and still be able to let her know when she goes to far you can have it on the lowest setting it won't hurt her and it will be like her experience with the bees and fence it will probably only take 3 uses at most before she gets it and learns that they are not to play with
4 our dogs learn the hard way not to mess with the bee boxes one got to be up its nose
Shock collars can mess with a dog because they don't always know why they're being punished. Punishments need to be applied consistently with the exact same triggers in order for the dog to learn. Something like the distance range won't teach that. It can also engage her fight or flight response when she's zapped, and she might end up hating the birds. I don't think that's the right method.
@@Lanecryo you aren’t aiming for the shock to be painful and to cause fear, that is incorrect use, a trainer would recommend starting at level 1 and going up from there the first time you notice they feel it, is where you should start training at. Not at the highest setting where you get a yelp in response. Improper use of a shock collar is without a doubt harmful. But the loss of birds on a farm that makes money on birds is not profitable in the long run.
Shouldn't use a shock collar no matter what if you saw the vlog where abby got shocked by the cow fence she was traumatised by that imagine a shock collar would do to her low voltage or not it seems like she is a sensitive dog and a shock collar for the most part would mess her up but this is just my opinion that is the only negative intent I have is towards shock collars and to no one here.
I think this idea would be good to try! Good luck with her Morgan. You've been doing an awesome job so far!
You're my favorite farm to follow, I love your videos! Let us know when you get more apparel, i would love to have a pablo escobarn or molly murder mittens tshirt. Maybe even molly murder mittens mittens 🤣 with little cat paws!
I really enjoyed this video. It’s so relaxing to watch you caring for your animals.
I love the duck/gosling videos!! you take such great care of them.
So many sweet floofy babies 😍😍
I always look forward to your videos… makes me have a better day!
just yesterday my with little bantam hen just hatched out four buff orpington chicks .great work on all your hatching ducks and goslings
So you have a duck that thinks she’s a goose, and now you’ll have a chicken the thinks she’s a duck! I sense some great stories coming in the future!
I knew someone who had a flock of geese.... they are great alarm system to deter thieves!
You should consider getting a shock collar but the ones that you can litteraly put on yourself and can barely even feel it. They are very good for correcting her at a distance
I had a relative who had a dog that just would NOT LISTEN & OBEY. It kept getting into their food, eating off their plate. The dog was put in a school, training camp, & I understand they use a shock collar a few times to GET THEIR ATTENTION. It’s not something that has to be done a lot, but THEY LEARN TO LISTEN & OBEY after that…it doesn’t hurt anymore than your electric fence. Besides, they have really thick hair around their necks…it takes a lot to penetrate that.
Happy 4th Gold Shaw Farm! ✨
I love the fact that in this goose family when little ones appeared there is always ad least one adult goose not eating because it's looking around for any threats
Abby still has a lot of puPpy play in her. She will learn with Time. The Duckling are so adorable 🥰
I was thinking the same thing once she is past her 1 year birthday she will settle down😊😊
She would make such a good herding dog!
I think I'm more addicted to your videos, than David Attenborough's, lol don't get me wrong I live him too, but in the last 6 months I've watched nay be 90% of your videos & maybe 5% his 🤔🤔🤔
Your videos are so good. Thank you. How long did it take Toby Dog to be fully trained and trusted?
A year
@@GoldShawFarm I hope by the time Abby has spent a year on the farm she’s HALF as trustworthy as Toby!
