I did something REALLY STUPID 

Your wife is just the cutest thing ever! Best part of the video is at the end where she is holding Rosie with that "child-like" facial expression!!! It took me back to the joyous times of my childhood when I would name every new animal that came into my life-an experience one never forgets! Thank you for the smile and trip down memory lane!!

You had me at "Stupid." We've all been there. Pablo Barn Cat: "Who me? Those chickens are friends, not food." Rosie the Chicken: "I would've made it too, if it hadn't been for that dang cat!"

Morgan: Give me your extra chickens, i'll take good care of them! Also Morgan, first video with the new chickens: Well, i've lost one of the chickens... Glad you were able to find it in the end! :)

The fact that you have an area called Gen Pop just makes me chuckle.

Tip from the Aussie Plant operator: Keep your load as low as possible ALL the time. That's not to say you can't raise it if for instance, you need to lift a long load over a set of gate posts, but if you do need to, only raise it for as short a time as possible. Even when empty its best practice to keep the bucket or forks close to the ground. Buckecutting edge t or fork tipss tilted back slightly. Fork tips can be a hazard. Dont tip them back too much. Ideally the tips of the (empty) forks should be 2 to 3 inches above the ground, but that may need to be more if in uneven ground.

Great work! Those MX machines are super impressive. Pro tip. If you carry the load lower and more parallel to the ground, the tractor will be more stable while transporting heavy loads. The higher you go the higher the overall center of gravity.

Mistakes may have been made, but at the end of the day, your goals were accomplished and no bird was left running loose. You're getting this whole farmer thing down just fine! :)

It's an amazing feeling to finally have all your sacrifice and saving money pay off and get a tractor. It'll be in an upcoming episode on my channel, but I just invested in a John Deere 3039 with a full cab, loader and snow blower. All my sacrifice and saving paid off too and I feel so good about it. I can do things that I wasn't able to do before. I'm a novice tractor operator too as it does have a bit of a learning curve. Great episode Morgan.

You’ve become quite a good carpenter. And can’t get over your ginormous tractor! Hahaha! Great job! Oh, I spoke with my cat whisperer re adding an outside screened run or screened room for Lil, as other fans have recommended. He said that this is a great idea to help Lil adjust to being an inside cat. I’m glad you found Rosie!

Toby loves you for the love and respect you give him and of course for the treats, also.

I know this may sound stupid but I think pablo may have locked in on rosey and chased her back towards you and kept stalking so she didn't try go back out into the open area and get herself lost. Pablo is one pawesome kitty he deserves some treats and lots of snuggles 💖🐾

When I saw the video title and the thumbnail, I really thought I was about to watch you obliterate that coop with the tractor lol

Really love the drone footage honestly. It's just soothing to see the animals roaming at superspeed Edit: thank you for enabling captions.

Glad you found her. You are a great provider for your animals. God bless you

I feel like you missed an opportunity there. Release the Geese, Release the Quacken....what about Release the Cluckin'!? Nice to have the tractor. Life is so much easier when you have good tools. Glad you found Rosie, she does blend right in with the dried grasses.

Randomly reminded me of mid-august over here where I am. It's the time when dozens of storks gather and form large groups (30+ birds) before flying south for the winter. It's also the time when combines and tractors work in fields, so the birds literally swarm the machines without any fear because of all the tasty things that get unearthed by them. Normally they just walk behind them like infantry taking cover behind a tank.

A Tractor does take time to get comfortable with, but don't be scared of it! Its kind of like having a dog. Once you understand it and bond with it, she'll never let you down!

I think its really admirable and amazing how much work you do. Getting up at dawn till dusk working on your farm and finding time to film cinematic shots at the same time, then go home and edit it all. Do you ever relax??

I think the main reason I keep coming back and watching - apart from loving the birds and the dog and all that - is to watch a guy taking on challenges, making mistakes and figuring out how to fix them, getting on with things in a sensible and energetic way. It's the figuring-out-ness of it that appeals. This taking on a big project in the real world, breaking it down into smaller tasks, working out how to do the tasks, learning things, and doing stuff. Our virtual life, in which in the real world we just sit in our chairs watching other people do things, seems like a shadow of reality in comparison. It makes me want to get on with my own stuff in a more realistic way. It's really helpful.

Hi.... Morgan nice to see you , thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐩🐈🌱🎥👍👍👍

I really enjoy watching your videos. I love how your Farm is growing and how you give names to all your Animals. It makes me so happy to watch you and all your farm Animals. Thanks for sharing it all. Love from Massachusetts.

How the hell is this not 1 million subscribers? It's good stuff!

Thanks for playing a clip from the album that made me fall headlong into punk music back in 1994! Edit: Holy hell, I've just realized that that was more than a quarter of a century ago! How did that happen?!

My favorite moment in this entire video was when you looked at Allison and asked her what the little hen's name was, and she took that pause, and there was a moment between you, and between her and the chicken, and that is why I watch these videos. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was fun to watch you move that chicken coop! But those little moments are what I'm really here for. That and you saying "Rosalind" and Allison saying "or Rosie!" and we're all pretty sure that chicken's actual name is Rosie. heh. Hello Rosie! Glad you're safe!

You have become so clever handling the tractor. 👍🏻. The new chicken house you build looks very professionally done ✅ I’m sure Toby dog 🐩 loves you a lot and not because of the treats you give him. He’s such a good natured grand dog . I like him a lot. I kind of admire all the many different things you’re taking on. 👏.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, them animals are lucky. Also why is Allison so gorgeous. O Allison, how ye beauty illuminates! Love to both of you ♥️

I’m glad that part about Pablo wanting some chicken dinner wasn’t foreshadowing.

Wow, how easy was that with the tractor. Next to Toby it’s probably your next best investment. 👍🏼👍🏼

Forking 101: If you cannot see forward because of the load on your forks, REVERSE!;))

Are you the incarnated reflection of Charlie Chaplin? So hilarious. It's always nice to see and hear Allison with her gentle ways. Waiting for the perfect pic to send you from beautiful Las Vegas Nevada 💪🙋‍♀️🌼

Why is it so satisfying watching the goose and ducks you should do a video with just the poultry running around

You should name the tractor. Something like "large marge" or "boda baby". Lol, hold a tractor naming contest😃

So glad that You found Rosie, their so cute and good mommas.

All farm animals deserve a human like you two... 👍

Yay!!! Good days work!!! Yes, thank you for having closed captioning!!!

"Gen Pop".. you kill me. Still snort laughing over that one!

I'll be honest, I was expecting you to go to put the 3 chickens back in their pen, only to discover the missing chicken made the journey in their coop.

It’s only a screwup if you can’t fix it. 😁

I just love your videos. I am watching them in Nov. 2020 during one of the worse periods of humankind history. I feel high levels of anxiety and your videos have the power to relax me a lot. I think your farm is wonderful and you are absolutely great showing your work and commitment. And you funny too. :D Thanks

Happy monday morgan

Gotta say it, you are soooooo fortunate to have Allison with you on this adventure!!!

Your wife is so sweet! I would have named that chicken Bonny or something that to do with breaking out of jail lol but your wife just sweetly looked down at the long lost hen and lovingly named her Rosy!

Awww I'm so glad you found her. Rosalyn fits too, great name.

Forest: "Stupid is as stupid does." Of course you don't look stupid. You just made a mistake!!

Allison is so pretty and she loves the farm and you! You're one blessed dude!😊

Glad it ALL ended well 👍👍

"I lost a bird" My first reaction was to wonder why you're not walking around shaking the feed bucket. That always brought the chickens running when I was a kid! :)

What a treat it is to have found your you tube videos. Your descriptions are absolutely hilarious. Keep up the good work with your feathered friends. Looks like Toby is a joy to have at your side.

Don't put yourself down your doing great it takes mistakes to learn. Thanks for sharing with us.

Oh so pretty normal to make mistake ..but st the end you found Rosie ..l was so tense watching it ..n follow the sadness ..glad the cat did not eat the chiken .nice to see Alison lookong sp well at the end ....🥰😍 God bless you all ...❤💕💕💕💕

Glad u finally caught Rosie. And she is safe now. 😷💖

The time spent looking for 1 chicken prove how much you care about your animals. You did the same for every one of them that disapeared. Mistakes happens, don’t stress over it.

I am so glad you found that beautiful chicken. I like the name Rosie for her. Have a Blessed day

Hey there, I've done stupid stuff, too. It sucks for sure! I'm glad all was well in the end. I still think you're farming skills are cool and I enjoy your videos! I find lots of them funny 😊

Thank you! For sharing the ups and downs of farm life. I really appreciate it. Wish I had the ability to do what you could do from the city to the farm life. I'm really impressed

I've been there before with chickens. I had one of mine panic, hop the stone wall that boarders my farm, and dissapear into my neigbor's woods. After about an hour or so, she showed up again, and I got her home. Mistakes do not happen because we are dumb, or supid, they happen to teach us. Every mistake I've made in homesteading has brought me closer to knowing how to homestead, though I can't claim to know what I'm doing still, lol. Don't beat yourself up too much for mistakes, for in the end, they accomplish as much as sucess dose. Thank you for another great vedio, as a fellow new englander you always inspire me to keep going in my homestead journey, from centeral mass.

I'm glad everything worked out for the Chicken Coop and the Chicken 💪👍👏 JO JO IN VT 💕😄

Awe, glad you found the chicken , & she got a nice name taboot ! I have sweet memories of farm life as a child , it was loads of fun , : )

I really love watching your channel. I learn new things and you are great about explaining things. Love traitors. Thanks for everything ! Have a great day....

Good job moving those structures. And hooray for Rosie! Loved this video.

I love how much effort you put into the video editing to make it all engaging. Truly sets you apart from most others doing this

Thank goodness you found the chicken!!!!!!!

I love your music choice, the piano seems so fitting.... i couldn't say why but it does.

This is the hard work of being a farmer. Glad you have a front loader. Haha, and I love the Gotta Keep Em Separated song, nice touch! You are the most modern farmer I know!

So glad you found the Bird. Love.

Thank goodness you found her

Maybe it is time to cut the fence again......well, look at you, i am so proud! Glad you found Rosy

Don't be too hard on yourself. We all do goofy things....good thing you have that sweet tractor to help!

I like your choices of music.

😹😹😹😹Move the coup she flew the coup 🙈🙈🙈so glad you finally caught Rose-a-lee the 🐓and all before dark nice going. 😹😹😹

I think Toby-dog loves you for the scritchies as well of the treats.

"So I did something, really really stupid" Let's talk about that. *GMM Theme Plays*

What a cute little episode!! I appreciate that you post these videos! That make my day just a little bit better!!

Glad Rosie got caught back.😊👍

Wanna talk about stupid? I stuck my tounge out at my pet rat. She bit it.

Was feeling cranky until I watched your video. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Glad everything worked out. 😊

I love the Black rooster ! I’m so happy y’all found Rosie I was starting to get sad too :(

That cabin you built for the fancy chickens looks great. Your building skills have come a long way.

*@Gold Shaw Farm* 6:24 -ish. Good thing you made the smart move about going around. When you started with "I have made a big mistake" and started talking about moving the chicken house, I though it was the "future you" adding some context to the video. So i thought you would do the "easy option" of just lifting the house over the vence, but crashed it into the ground, and THAT was your "big mistake", glad I was wrong :)

Good job! You'll get more at ease with moving things like this. I've got a few hundred hours on my new tractor and remember the feeling. You don't need to lift that high. If something falls, it's less breakage.

If I can add a suggestion from someone who has operated a fair amount of equipment, always keep the load as low to the ground as you can, and you only need to tilt the load back slightly.

Glad you found her!

Nicely done. Get a ballast box and drop the flail mower, it’s too long for close-in manoeuvres.

So enjoyable...Love happy ending!!! Thanks for sharing.

They care so much 🥺🥺🥺

I agree, keep the load on front loader LOW to ground. Some of we folks have found out the wrong way why.

Thanks for taking caution with the Tractor. A couple newer guy suggestions. Run the blades much closer to the ground, basically a foot or two up just tall enough to clear anything you might hit. Keep the blades flat, when I was teaching people to drive, I would say run them back maybe 5-10 degrees back. If you go too far, like you did it could land in your face or tilt the tractor. Admittedly you weren't going to overload the front, but if that was a lot heavier you could have regardless of ut's max capacity. The higher the forks, the less you can carry. You are doing awesome man, keep it up, you got this.

You’re video was such a wonderful way to start my week. Thank you so much. Hugs.

Glad the you two found Rosalind, don't beat yourself up over this stuff like this happens to all of us! You doing really well in your operation of your loader, I operated a scoop tram which is an underground mining loader for over 35 years, it was almost always enjoyable operate except in camera remote operation, that's frustrating. lol

Hee hee. Oliver Douglas is at it again! When you said "tractor"; I said, "oh no!" Keep the load low and forks flatter, buddy. Not bad. Only one mishap, a lost chicken, and you found her! You two crazy kids! 😄😄 Another happy ending to this episode of GA! Nice hearing Mrs. Douglas speak. You should let her out of the barn more often.

Fun fact...I think you were referring to your friend Al Lumnah's prowess in moving things with the tractor? I watched an old video of his and learned his name is Alcid (spelling?) and not Alfred! Love to watch your happenings on the farm!

When you move things with your front end loader, it would be best to pickthings up just clear of the ground, you willbe able to see where your going as well as less of a chancetipping your tractor over

So glad you found Rosie : )

Morgan, What I take from this is that your woodwork isn't as bad as it seems!🙂. You can pick it up and move it and it stays in one piece. Mazeltov! Regards Stephen.

Snow, not a problem you have the tractor and plow, just get your adjustment right so it doesn’t eat into the turf, remember use float on the bucket settings for levelling

The most important thing is to be able to learn from our own mistakes and you found the chicken afterwards. Lesson learned, let's keep going! =)

I haven't read all the comments, but in case that happens again (and it's happened to most of us!), you might consider teaching the chickens to come like you do the ducks. All it takes is one of your special calls -- mine is "laaay-dies!" with the word drawn out so that it's distinctive, and some scratch or some other treat. Once they make the connection between that call and a treat, it doesn't take long for them to come running every time they hear you. I suppose you've heard of this method before, but it could have really helped you that day under the circumstances. Anyway, so glad it worked out well!

From now on any of your major animal structures should have fork holes under them for ease of moving them. If you ever decide that you want to move your stuff around. Better to be proactive than reactive. Love your videos..keep up the great work. 👍 👏

I really like your videos, the way you presented your daily life at the farm is hilarious

Its ok You did not know that Roselyn was going to get away like that. she is still getting use to her new home is all. & you did a great job moving the coop. I really like the name Roselyn
