Helping Deformed Goslings Lead Better Lives 

Instead of buying a bull, you could consider hiring a bull, so you bring him in for a few months and he gets the deed done. that way you can keep your genetics diverse while you still have a small herd by getting a different bull each year.

Molly Murder Mittens is being a good mom. She knows you can't hunt for yourself, so she's keeping you fed with her gifts.

I love that exchange at 14:50. Toby's look at Audrey as he realises she does not look happy about him being between her and her child, the defusing side glances, and finally the retreat. I love how expressive dogs are when you know how they communicate, and how empathetic Toby is with the other animals.

Every time you talk about Toby and the cows I think to myself, "Of course they accept him, he's just a little white highlander to them." Then I laugh cause I know that they understand he is something different then them but he is about calf size and has that fluffy white coat. Anyways, awesome video as always.

It’s so cute that Molly leaves you little presents by your truck. She must see you working all day and never having time to hunt for yourself. A mother will always provide 😂

Morgan you should tag those goslings that have the Angel wing so you don't breed them. At this point you know it's pretty likely it's genetic so if you tag their legs now you can take them out of your breeding flock later instead of tryingto guess which ones they are later.

Morgan, you know that we would love to see a video of this gosling at his/her new home, right? Seeing how he/she is doing there with the other animals a few weeks from now.

I can understand, that "release the quacken!" is an absolut banger and should under no circumstances be replaced. I also understand, that one catch phrase should not be copied. But "release the geese!" has a certain feel to it, that I cant let go.

When I'm in a better financial position, I inspire to lead a cruelty-free lifestyle like yourself. You are a fantastic mentor, and I love your farm and its atmosphere. Thanks, Morgan, for giving me this insight into a better future where no animal or livestock is cruelly treated.

"Let Loose the Goose" is an iconic part of the videos, to heck with proper grammar rules

Be careful to cross with Charolais, big calves for your little highlands, may end in complications/ needing vet assistance or c-sec… as well will lead to leaner meat, good cross but may not be the best for curing, I personally think angus may be a better choice, smaller frame so less likely issues at delivery and will improve fat infiltration in the meat what means tastier jerky

i noticed that abby started to become more independent of toby dog, thats great to see. making friends with the other working animals is going to good for her

As the Quacken were released and being filmed in slow motion jumping over the camera, I got an ad for Rockstar energy drink. I don’t think there could have been a more perfect ad inserted at that point. The Quacken certainly are rockstars.

Morgan if you still have a problem with the eggs rolling out of the duckhouse, then cut a piece of wood in half diagonally and place it in the doorway, so when the birds lay eggs in the doorway, the eggs just rolls inwards.

I loved seeing Abby play with Molly Murder Mittens.😊

Could always give 'release the geese' a try. But I admit I am also partial to 'Let loose the goose'

If people are critical of, "Let loose the goose", you could say, "Release the Geese!".

Don’t you ever stop saying “let loose the goose!” 😂😃

I use something called vetwrap. It's like a bandage that sticks to itself and not the feathers. I also use it for bumble foot treatment. One of those magic things for the animal first aid box!

“Release the Quackin” never gets old! ❤️

Molly murder mittens is such a mom cat, she sees you as a family member she needs to take care of and feed ♥️🥺

This has to be the earliest I've ever been with a video

Morgan you really have a great heart giving your Goslin away with the crooked mouth 👄 and fixing wings ❤️❤️👍👍

Audrey 1 does look like she is part Angus. I think a good cross would be with the Shorthorn. They are also dual-purpose animals (meat/milk). They are considered easy calvers, great moms with mild temperament, which would mix well with your hands-on management system.

Sometimes I watch your videos several times just because they make me happy. Thank you for your content!

Love to see how big the goslings have gotten. I will never try to correct you grammatically, can't believe someone would do that to you. We know that you have a special way of saying things, and that's why most of us tune in. Ignore the haters, we do.

I don't care about grammar- LET LOOSE THE GOOSE! Is probably my favorite phrase from the farm :3

Morgan that was awesome thank you so much for teaching us all how to bind a goslings Wings when they have angel wings. Talk about learning something new everyday. What a blessing you and your videos have become too many. Have a great day and thanks again

Poor cross billed gosling, glad you found a good home for the cross billed gosling, you take very good care of your feathers

I must say that this channel is one of the most informational and enjoyable channels on RU-vid I have learned more from Morgan Gold Shaw, than I have reading books, or research online. I would like to add something about the condition of angel wing in waterfowl because the same exact conditions that his Goslings suffer from, Ducks will as well. They have the same exact nutritional requirements & a diet of anything lacking in these requirements, will result in a condition, that is always extreme & easily noticeable. For example, bowed legs & the angel wing,, as it progresses, becomes a different type of condition, it causes of behavior where the bird just drops its wings to the ground and is constantly trying to pull it's wings into place it looks like a nervous tic or some sort of nerve damage condition, it's always twitching the Wings up, trying to get them into place ....constantly.. When they get older, the solution I have found,, is to ensure they receive plenty of niacin, which is in the vitamin B family & this can be found in: sunflower seeds, Raw, unsalted, pumpkin or some type gourd seeds,black oil sunflower, brewer's yeast & finely chopped alfalfa, which is amazing stuff , are all very good sources of niacin Calcium is important to prevent the bowed leg defect. As soon as I started incorporating these things into my duck"s diet the problem corrected itself the calcium corrected the bowed legs nice and corrected the angel wing did you catch the problem early enough when the bird is Young and can be corrected through diet without it leaving residual damage later on in life. A comment about the cross bill deformity is also called scissor beak I had three ticks born with that in The Most Extreme presentation of this condition I've ever seen in my life a friend of mine had one hatch from hatching eggs that I gave her so she could have her own backyard flock and she loves them and she's very happy there's another whole nother story it is such a cute story I swear to God is going to see Destroyer I'll talk later some other time you know I should tell it on my channel anyways she gave hers to a sanctuary where she would get one-on-one care with one person I have a sanctuary situation but it is so much work and a hatchery and a farm a lumber-jacking work site a livingsoil farm an eating and hatching eggs shipping thing going and there's more . I have had a lot of ducklings dying just dropping dead I'm not doing anything different than I've done in Prior years where I would get over 20 ducklings surviving to adulthood here they only live a few days and drop dead the deformed chicks have all these different deformities and after acting they become so exhausted just trying to survive they die this is our big chicks are actually very strong and active I have to ensure that they have containers that they can actually really drink from and their food is either semi-moist or very fine and put into a deeper container I'm accommodating them so that it makes it easier for them to survive on their own but the frequency of deformed chicks and the frequency of the ducklings dying within 3 to 4 days of hatching dying in the shell dying while partially emerged is really vexing me so I'm taking I took two of the little bodies and I wrapped them up and I put them in a freezer unit and I'm going to be shipping them same-day priority on Ice I have to pack them in ice to University of California at Davis which is a leading agricultural School in California and probably the United States and my family that are involved with farming and ranching where are the breeding raisings animals we send or bring our animals that pass away from unexplained circumstances to uc-davis to the veterinary pathology laboratory for necropsy and by doing this we learn what we did wrong or what happened or how we can prevent it from happening in the future or to the rest of the other members of the herd or flock that was probably one of the best things that my late husband and I ever did together what ship are hens that died prematurely in mysterious ways it's actually to the California Department of food and agriculture which is located on the UC Davis Campus the knowledge that is gained from doing this is so invaluable that I am actually starting to write a book about it how a primal diet even for chickens and waterfowl is so much better and essential and the results are so extreme in a beneficial way that I have before and after pictures they have people asking me about the ingredients to the Primal waterfowl and poultry diet I just imagine trying to mimic what they would be searching for to eat and consuming if they were foraging in the field and forest or a shoreline l a body of waterwhich,

Love the content. Could watch you doing your chores everyday but you always manage to add so much more to you content. Love your channel as always. 🥰🥰 to you and Allison.

Wow! Molly caught a weasel? I’m impressed.

It's another beautiful day at GSF with clear blue sky! Love each video as the latest one is better than the previous video. It's great to learn about all of the various animals and watch how you take such wonderful care of them so they have a good quality of life. This time Molly Murder Mittens decided to be the scene stealer. Take care and be well.

You are such a caring and responsible farmer Morgan. I really appreciate and respect that.

Haha, Molly is being a Momma to you, bringing you mice to eat!

Everyone else takes you for granted, Molly is like 'ah yes, my liege, here is my tribute for the month, that I might continue to rent these premises as my abode' XD

Ok…..the birds never fail to make me smile 😊

I love your videos! I have been watching them for a few years!!!! Can’t believe how quickly the goslings are growing up!

Toby was not about to walk between mom and baby lol. Smart boy ❤️

Our cat leaves me gifts under the laundry lines or on the steps at the back door! 😄

Ah! I wish this video had been released a few weeks earlier... I spent days looking up how to fix angel wing and trying to find the "right way" to wrap it, and you answered all the questions I had in 2 minutes!😆 I have a Chinese goose that I brought home (after being inspired by your videos about geese... love her! she's a spoiled lap goose now!) and I started noticing signs of angel wing about 4 weeks ago. once I pieced together the proper way to wrap from various incomplete sources on the web, I used 2" non-stick vet wrap (pro- doesn't pull feathers, it only sticks to its self... con- takes about a foot of wrap to do each wrapping) for about a week, and her angel wing corrected completely! Stella the goose thanks you for your tireless Goose advocacy, and we look forward to your next video! 🙂

You should keep a few silky hens. They go into brood mode more ofter and are very attentive mothers. We always put all of our fertile eggs under silkies. We even hatched a turkey under one, it was great watching a big turkey run an try to hide under a silky when it was scared.

Before you decide to use your own fields for hay, walk all through it and even do a check with your drone for poisonous plants. Yes it was a Farm for many many years but birds, animals and winds bring in new plants. A friend of mine in PA decide to hire someone to bale her field to offset the cost of winter hay. Almost as soon as he started he stopped and called her to come look at it. He found Hemlock and Larkspur growing around the sides and lots of clover. While clover isn't a poison per say, eating a lot of it can cause bloat which can kill. Both Hemlock, and Larkspur are poisonous to cattle. She also found a couple of Milkweed and I think it was wild Cherry tree saplings. Using what you have is fantastic but take the time to make sure it's still safe to use first.

I truly enjoy watching your youtubes and your relationship with all your birds and animals. I look forward to your videos every day. Thanks for helping me get over my Lymphedema and a nasty year health wise. Fiberphyl

My Family visits the country side in Vermont and loves it I like your geese and I even am on The Urban rescue ranch RU-vid channel the “ SNAKE BITE KID” thx for good content keep rescuing geese

Awesome! Hopefully it's all corrected! Good job Morgan! Glad the other one has a good home🤗🤗🤗

Such sweet creatures, big or small, tiny or tall we're loved from Higher power. I'm so happy she took her. Hey Morgan great vigil as always!🐛🐣🐤🐥🐣

0:21 the best scream I ever heard a gosling do XD

start the day with a farm video is the best way to start the day!!

Release the geese could be something you could say instead of let loose the goose. Also so happy to see that the goslings are doing well and getting use to the big open space

Bully advice: You don't have enough cows to financially justify a bull - not even close, no matter the market. Also, if you think putting in a handling system to get AI done is a lot of work and expense, wait untill you find out the handling infrastructure you need to have a bull on the property! They are WAY different than cows in both behaviour and power and need much beefier (pun intended!) fences. You'll want the handling system for vaccinations, health checks, hoof trimming etc anyway.

I love all your animals, but especially the cats. I had two barn cats that were fierce hunters! They ALWAYS brought me their kills. I would get 2-4 every day. One wouldn’t eat it until I praised him as the Great Provider! The other I could hear from as far as 1/4 mile away bringing home the goods. He made a strange, loud, moaning noise as he carried his prize home. They were wonderful friends and companions. One lived to be 16 yrs old the other just short of 20. I miss them so much. Yes, they were both neutered.

The way Hasami screamed for her life, oh my, poor gosling! Good to see her settling in well in her new place though 😄💙✨

You are the goose man. Great you could fix the angel wings. The Highlands look good. The calves are growing fast. 💞

Barn cats are certified killas 💀

Honeslty I see Morgans videos as like a detox from the toxic, yet exciting life of big cities. People can be very manipulative, fake and deceitful. Animals just do what they do and Morgan is such a wholesome guy.

Bye Hasamy, have a good, happy life. I'll miss you ❤❤ 8:01 Tobby dog is concern what you doing with his goosling.

I love these cute babies no matter their flaws

I absolutely adore watching Gold Shaw Farm. Love you, love you, love you guys. Best wishes, from the UK:)

Its so great how much you love these animals.

It’s not two reasons, it’s one reason that’s multi-factorial. Genetics makes it possible to happen, and diet can trigger it to occur. You have other birds in that group with mild drops that are less severe, but still showing the AW sign. Best practice is graze only dawn to dusk and pellet feed at night especially during those weeks where the flight pins are growing out fast.

BLESS YOU for finally doing your vet checks.

Hi Morgan I am very excited to see how your wings turn out 👍👍🥰

Do you collect up those big goose feathers to sell? They look gorgeous and I'd like to but a handful or so for some craft projects!

Never go wrong when Toby and his new friend Abby are part of a video. It always add spice

Molly's so sweet leaving you all that food.

Thank you! I feel a bit better after watching.

I love investigative details into any life situation. That’s the way I run my own life‼️ I have to reason assuredly at my age!👣

I know that you are from Ct. Morgan. Jamokes. I used to say that too in Ct. On another note my cat got a weasel like your molly. It was quick and easy but she never ate it like she does with voles and moles.

16:50 in the background is that Molly using Toby’s tail as a wig? Lol how cute😂😂

Really loved this content and hoping for the best with the two goslings! Thank you for the insight as we hope to get a geese for our chicken flock.

That slow-mo clip was great! 🥰🦢🦆

1:43 😊Oh good, “Release the geese” is still up for grabs 😂

You should put bands on the legs of the geese with Angel’s wing so in the fall they can end up in the freezer

Yay, another excellent video, thanks a million!

Wow! Some of the trees in your orchard are really beginning to fill in. It won’t be long before they provide shade and maybe even nuts. Your farm is a beautiful work in progress.

The goslings sound almost like peepers in the spring, but WAY louder

Awe molly loves u, shes bringing u a gift.

I'm so glad you found her a home

Merci comme d'habitude pour vos vidéo et surtout pour les temépratures en degrès celcius. Thank you for your videos as always et specialy the fact that you right the temerature in celcius degres.

I'm in love with this little guy!!!! I wish u were keeping him

Loving the slow motion release of the quakken❤️

I hope that Hassami will be featured in a The Dodo video. She is too interesting gosling.

'Let loose the goose' is champion

Okay, I was watching out the corner of my eye and I thought that one goose at 3:44 had a mega long neck 😂😂

That scream when you picked her up!!

I am glad you are getting this figured out :)

Out of my depth here, cause English isn't my first language, I don't mind "let loose the goose". It's like you release the energy of the goose flock, rather than 20 individual geese. I like it. 👍

If I didn't live in Colorado, I would take the Silkies in a heart beat. I love smaller chickens....even if it does take 2 eggs to make 1...lol

so nice for you to find her a better home that women seems very nice

Molly is bringing you gifts! My indoor cat had an outdoor friend that would leave birds for him at the door. There was a crack at the threshold of the door that they communicated through. Lol. Inefficient practically but most efficient for cat amore! Lol

Every time he releases the quacken I always say "A-YEET" when they fly off

[ I realize that there was No Mention made About it, But ] @ 14:27 It is " Obvious " That Hair-Cut Time has Come for the Summer ! (?) It Appears that it is " Time for the Miniature Lawn Mowers to Cool Down All The 4 Footed Creatures on The " Gold Shaw's Farm " ! Yes Even " The Cattle And the " Dogs, " Are waiting to be Shaved for the Summer !

My parents had the artificial insemination business all while raising cattle, and it did quite well.

A friend of mine bred Charolais in the 70s. I just remember lots of pulling out calves due to their huge size. Not fun & more losses.

My dog is best friends with one of my cats. They often sleep together, which is so sweet. Their playing can sometimes look like fighting and a bit scary, but they are being careful. But with the dog being four times bigger, I always leave him in the bedroom without the cats when I leave the house, because they are afterall animals and accidents can happen. And I'd rather be there if something happens. Like the dog can accidentally nip the cat too hard, the cat could get spooked and scratch the dog in the face etc. But overall they would never hurt eatch other on purpose. The other cats like to rub again the doggo too, but he realizes that they don't want to play with him.

Molly is leaving you a gift 🥰 atleast a gift in her eyes 😻

Thanks for the interesting and caring video 🥳😊🌷👍

Morgan, you are so good to your animals and you pay attention so well through all of them and you notice when somethings not right with any of the animals and especially the babies. It’s amazing that you can fix those wings so quickly. I know it was so hard to say goodbye to the little gosling with the Crossbill, but I also know you made sure he went to a WONDERFUL♥️Home!! It’s wonderful to know that there are people out there who are willing to take a disabled or a different animal and love it as if it was perfect and give it all that special loving treatment it needs. I love your videos & The stories you tell with each of them. I can’t believe how big the Calves are getting. You really are a good farmer Morgan😊❣️❣️😄❣️❣️😊❣️❣️😊❣️ PS how soon do you think you will begin working on the hoop building?

One of the best and nicest RU-vidrs out there. Morgan is down to earth. All around great guy with tons of information. Great video bro!
