Day in the Life of a Runner Duck 

I recommend putting a small lip at at the entrance where the ducks come out as a way to help stop the eggs from rolling out if the ducks keeping laying eggs at the door

You have such a natural talent with storytelling. Not to mention the great editing. Thank you for bringing us along

I love how the ducks are just waddling around the duck house with all their other duck friends, a goose, and a chicken friend because why not.

Yep. Been following you since October and "All ducks go to bed!" still brings me joy!❤️

I've been sick for the past 2 days and have watched almost all of your vids on a giant watching spree. Thanks for the content!

I'm so impressed with the progress in cinematography you've made since I started to watch you all those years ago. People look at me weird when I proudly say that one of my favourite youtubers is a farmer from the USA. You are the only farm youtuber I watch because you're content is so oryginal it speaks to me on so many levels. I'm so glad I've seen your journey and I'm exited to see whats coming. You are one of those creators that are reminiscen of the old RU-vid where the people making videos seemed much closer to their audiences. You, Morgan, are a man of passion and everyone sees it. There were some hiccups along the way but its normal and you've handled it better than many others would. You're a treasure. Keep up the great work and give us the content we crave but most importantly have a great time doing it. Best wishes from Europe.

The runner ducks are so cute. I also love that new black calf.

I just got 3 blue runners, always wanted some because they look like little soldiers running around and I’m hoping they aren’t to flighty and my kids are constantly holding them. I yell “bedtime ducks” and they’d go in their coop. I also got 3 call ducks when I got the runners. Awe I hope Abby heals quickly ❤️‍🩹

The duck cam is the best. Actually can see things around the farm. With the cats, I only see their paws.

You need to get in contact with aqua scape, they make natural ponds, that could make your farm look much better, and they are very low maintenance. They might even build it for free, they have done it with a lot of RU-vidrs

I can't believe Morgan made that duck feeding noise with his cheek! 🤪 I tried to replicate it but couldn't do it. He truly goes above & beyond to make these videos informative & entertaining.

Ducks are creatures of habit. My husband yells “los patitos” (the little ducks) and I say “a mimin duckies” (mimin is a way to say sleepy time”” in Spanish) and they know is bed time. Even if we aren’t they go to their house on their own. But every time we change anything they don’t like it at all lol

The different sounds of the farm are so calming and relaxing to listen to, like when the ducks climb the board to go back to their houses or when they are filtering through the mud. I could listen to it all day!

Because of you, I have trained my 13 ducks to “All Ducks go to bed” also. Not only do they listen but the correct ducks go into the correct pens (have 2 separate pens). 🦆

See the calf scratch its adorable head on the brush is one of the cutest things in the world.

really enjoyed this installment of the "day in the life" series on your channel Morgan. Been watching your videos for about a year now and I'm totally addicted, I never miss a video and always find myself wanting to watch more. Really enjoying the way you integrate your sponsors these days since the flow is so smooth and doesn't cut away from the farm action. Thanks as always for posting!

Randomly stumbled across this channel a few months ago. I am no expert on animals never been on a farm but I love your videos so informative and funny and can tell you really care about all your animals. Such a great underrated channel thanks for the amazing content.

My runner ducks are so funny. They love the pond and everything around it.

LOL poor Abby the “flash light” 😆 hope she feels better soon❤️ I’m curious why do ducks constantly quack? Do they just like to be noisy or are they communicating with each other constantly?🤔

I have a pair of runners and they are absolutely hilarious. They're the best entertainment and education for my kids and I just couldn't be without them ❤ btw we have managed to tame them, it only took about 3 months. They eat from my hand now.

Calves so sweet using the brushes. I hope spring has finally actually arrived for you all in Vt.

While my ducks will only go to bed for "All ducks go to bed" or me singing "Where my ducks at", I can confirm they are ODC freaks. If we do anything, and I mean anything, to interrupt their daily routine we get quite the ducky lecture. The older ones are also not very forgiving of our three new ducklings that just started sleeping with the flock. (One is the sole survivor of a predictor attack and was given to us because they knew we had a flock. People seem to think we run a rescue. The other two are friends we bought to give her company in the brooder.) The little ones get a stern nipping, herded by the older ones and angry glares from the flock for not coming when they are called, but they are learning fast and are usually right by my feet anyways. I don't need a net to catch my ducks, most of them just let me pick them right up but we have a much smaller flock so we have more time to work with each bird personally but I am the only person they let do that

OMG! We need an Abby update ASAP. I know she's ok, but I'm so sad she needs the cone of shame.😭💔

If I ever find myself in Vermont, I’d love to come see Morgan. I would literally spend the whole day helping him around the farm and making memories with Toby and Abbey dog & all the Barn kitties 😭💓

"Flashlight." Haha! I've been curious about the runner ducks, they're so peculiar looking. Morgan, I can see the Spring excitement in your manner.

"All ducks go to bed" - I love it. I hope Abby girl heals nicely and soon.

Runner ducks actually make amazing pets, it just depends on where you got them and their genetics. My first ducks were runner ducks and I didn't handle the as much as I needed to (when they were babies), but they were the FRIENDLIEST ducks I've ever had. Each morning they would wait for me and would get very excited when they would see me. Then during the day, when I would do all of my chores, they would just follow me everywhere and always waiting to be pet.

Funny story about my Wheaton Terrier pup...named Oliver. He had a cut on his paw....and he wouldn't stop licking it. We took him to the VET and the vet put a cone on him. Our Oliver wouldn't move.....at all. He would just stand still. We had to carry him out side to do business.....we had to carry him everywhere for 2 whole weeks. It was exhausting. Now anytime Oliver acts out....we say "you don't want me to put the cone back on ya.....do ya?" It's a running joke in our family.

I love the pond. I really hope some of it makes it through the summer. It is really beautiful to see the ducks and geese enjoy the pond. They are creatures of habit and I think giving them a constant makes for a much happier healthier duck or goose. I love the way you get them up and put them to bed and I think they all appreciate it as well. The new calves are so adorable. I love the breed of cattle that you have.

hope little Abby is healing well and feeling better from whatever happened!

Have you ever heard on putting lime around on the ground to prevent lots of bugs and sweeten up soil . Ask at tractor store first but we always did in spring. Love the videos

I really enjoyed it. Thank you for the different perspectives. May you all please take care and stay safe.

Absolutely loved the footage in the Duck Hut, via the Runner Duck! When I had my Pom fixed I bought her a Dog Donut Collar from Amazon to go around her neck, because she hated the Cone, & destroyed it.

Loved this duck cam. I love the animal cams. Just to get a peak at what they do when no one is watching. Just fascinating

Saving this video, so when I’m having a crap day, I can laugh out loud at runner ducks. Got to love ducks!

What a fun and interesting vlog, I love the runner ducks. But I love all your vlogs! Today I'm having a bad day and watching this really lifted my spirits, so thank you as always for sharing with us. I know that these vlogs are part of your livelihood with the farm Morgan, but they have become part of my life and I look forward to each and every one.

Hey just wanted to send love from Ireland! 🇮🇪🍀💜 I love your positivity and outlook on life! Thank you for being you and for staying strong and posting about your daily life 😊

Jemima 💜! I love the extra shots of her. Wonderful storytelling and great shots. Thanks for sharing!

Poor Abby has to wear the cone of shame,lol, but I gotta say she's handling it like a trooper. You can almost feel the difference now that spring has arrived at Gold Shaw Farm, and I'm sure the cattle are looking forward to more space. Great vlog, gotta love those Runner Ducks. Thanks Morgan!

I always love seeing Jemima Puddleduck out walking in the pasture. Reminds me of the old folks who excercise by mall walking

22 year old engineering student here trying to figure out why I get so excited when I see you posted a new video - soooo entertaining

That black calf is gorgeous. Then again, they are all gorgeous. Nice breed.

Seeing your farm really makes my day ❤️ I hate taking care of ducks at work but LOVE watching your ducks!

I never thought of a fishing net to capture my birds, I always corraled them into a smaller section of land than did the work I needed and released them back into the field 1 by 1.

It's nice seeing the calves being so bold with Toby!

I enjoy your narration of the farm so much!! I’m 53 raised on a farm/ ranch, vet tech for 30+ years. Ducks are one of my favorites 😁 Large dogs can twist their stomach easily so giving wet food is great!! I’m enjoying watching you learn. Rabbits, goats/ sheep, pigs and horses are a must. Have a great day. sending hugs to you and your beautiful wife from TEXAS!

I find the runner ducks very interesting to watch. The farm looks great and I love the views of the pond. Beautiful!

I love the duck cam!!! They look out the window looking for you to come let them out, so adorable!!

We highly recommend Quail for anyone even in an apartment that wants to try farming or being self sustaining. They only need a little space. Think a spare room, a garage, a basement etc. they are full grown at 6 to 8 weeks and will lay eggs daily at this time. A small inexpensive incubator means you can continuously grow your own viable meat source. We use an easy clean cage system. Utilizing free newspaper on trays clean up only takes about five minutes a day. You can learn all you need to know on YT ❤️ God bless

Ducks are some of my favorite animals. This was a very informative video! I wish I could watch duck cam all day. Also, I hope Abby recovers quickly.

Nothing like the cone of shame for some hilarious and yet testing times with your honkers 🤣

Thank you for sharing your runner ducks with us. I know I enjoyed it.

🦆Great duck impression! Prayers for complete healing for Abby🔦.

oh my goodness that baby using the brush. he is so cute!!!

I absolutely love the idea of including timestamps in your vids. Please consider them in coming vids!

Didn't know I needed to see a baby cow using a brush until today.

Love seeing how much this farm has grown! Great job!

Your runner ducks are so cute! Thanks for sharing 👍

I love your ducks Morgan! I hope the pond holds water longer this year. Your birds look so happy on the pond.

I've giggled each time you've called Abby dog ...flashlight. Thanks for the entertainment.

These videos bring me peace... 🙂

The lil chicks of any breed are totally cute! Puppy’s and kittys are cute too! But the Highland Calves are so so so adorable 🥰 I love their cuteness the most now!

Poor Abby, glad she is ok. She is such a long awaited addiction to the farm.

Thanks for you and your lovely farm life!!! Such therapy for me ♥️

No matter how crappy my day is, watching your videos always make me feel better. Thank you for what you do, Morgan it's sincerely appreciated.

I have a bunch of runner ducks. I keep them on the farm side for their bug killing/eating potential. Runners love the bugs, but tend to leave the veggies alone

I am new to your site. I have been following you on FB and was so glad to be able to subscribe to you here. Your stories are captivating and so easy to listen to. I am a retired nurse in Spring, Texas moved here over 40 years ago from upstate New York. We used to spend summers on my Aunt Ellen's farm in the Catskill Mountains. Love watching you, listening to you and going back to see the beginning as well. My husband and I also respected each others solitude and it was the strongest part of our relationship. We knew each other very well!

Every time I see a runner duck I think of "Christmas means carnage!". It's been years since I've seen that movie but that's still what runner ducks remind me of.

such a great way to start my day & make me laf & feel good about everything especially spring

That’s really cool that you can tell your ducks to go to bed once I get mine I’ve already bought a duck call for them so they might come to me once I use it

i love thse types of vidoes and i love the sound he ducks feet make when they walk up the ramp soo good, i hope abby get better soon, i also hope youre ok Morgan you seemed really upset in this video

That black calf with the brush is just about the cutest thing I’ve seen ❤️

Love this video! Runner ducks was my first duck breed and my first poultry species! They won over my heart so fast and got me into the world of poultry ❤

I love seeing the footage from the animals. Seeing the farm from their perspective plus the cute little nosies the animals make while wandering around. Definitely something I look forward to seeing

This vlog made me as happy watching it as it made you making it. Thank you, Morgan.

Paused the video to do something- came back and forgot the runner duck was wearing the camera and thought “why is Morgan in the water?”😂😂😂

the pond is really beautiful to see this year. It's work but you got a beautiful view every morning

That lake is BEAUTIFUL. If it was my farm, I'd enlarge it (to the current overflow size), concrete it up to prevent it from drying up, and actually make it a permanent large farm lake with fish and aquatic plants:) Imagine boating in a wooden boat, in your own lake! :) Love love love this farm!!!

Totally agree with adding hot water to kibble. Add it right before you feed them and they have a lovely bit of gravy. My dogs also got some kitchen scraps in their bowl sometimes and they loved that.

I love picturing Jemima as this wise old grandma of the ducks

Aww Baldie sitting all alone because the other chicken bully her 😭😭😭💔💔 broke my heart

''All ducks go to bed''...that was what got me watching your videos...lol UK

I really enjoy your videos and cant wait for the next one though i have a feeling that to get more, ill have to get my own ducks and chicken and geese... cheers. keep it up!

Best thing I like about runner ducks is the funny way they walk/run. They look like they should have little arms like a tyrannosaurus rex!

My cats aren't very picky about what they eat but I am picky about what I feed them. I feel good about feeding them Open Farm cat food for them and for the humane care animals they eat received. I'm grateful that they sponsor you and, in that way, I learned about them.

Love watching your channel! Thank you for sharing your farm life with us 💚

I first started watching you on tiktok and I saw you had a RU-vid Chanel and I am literally obsessed. it's so calming and feels like a breath of fresh air from all the other stuff on RU-vid I'm so happy I sorted watching watching

So cute, thanks Morgan! 🤗💜

about lost my mind from the cuteness watching the calf use the brush... LOL

😍😍😍 YES!! Runner ducks are so cool!! 🦆🦆🦆

You help my anxiety before work. It’s not bad anxiety but it’s the restrictive nature of the rat race that makes me a little on edge. Your self sustained freedom calms me.

There are better soft type neck cone that works but lets them eat/drink easier. I actually used a doggie Onsie that my dog wore to protect surgery site but didn't restrict them otherwise. It worked so much better.

Great video. The pond is gorgeous right now and the ducks are so happy to be in the pond.

I just started keeping ducks a year ago and I'm loving it! Thanks for the informative and fun content.

I'm so in love with runner ducks! They're so amazing to watch!

The little calves are soooo cute :3

Aw the goose stepped up to protect the runner duck!

I love your videos! They are so interesting and relaxing! I recommended it to my father, who always dreamed of having a farm and he loves it as well! Keep it up :)

I love the runner ducks, they’re so cute!

Thank you Morgan! Your videos bring me a lot of joy! Flashlight…that’s hilarious. I also loved the footage of you chasing after the ducks! I think it’s funny how you console Toby because you think he’s jealous of the attention Abby receives and I like your taste in (background) music!
