Happily watching ducks 🦆🦆 from England ❤❤❤

Right on 👍

My daily dose of north country horseshoe valley farm life education! Love your little menagerie of friendly feathers and fur. As I said, if I ever get up there a Timmy’s coffee and a couple of donuts are my treat. You deserve it.

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Haha YES!!! 👏

Thank you for explaining the job the ducks do on the farm. I always wondered. Hi to the kitties!

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

You bet!

@BrentwoodFamilyinVietnam 7 месяцев назад

This makes me really curious about what ducks do on my wife's uncle's farm here in Vietnam. He has like 100 of them, so I'll have to ask him what they do.

Good morning to the duck and goose families! Have a wonderful day, Chad🙋‍♀️

Thnx, you too have a great week 😊

@joannf6286 7 месяцев назад

I love how excited the ducks get when they see fresh water being poured.🙂

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Oh yeah they only swim in the fresh stuff 😆

Great video Chad! Geese and ducks are so similar. We didn’t know about the aortic valve piping straight to their feet. We of course just have geese (4 varieties) but learn a lot about their care from your channel. Do you have a specific ration of the bakers yeast to feed? We have to admit your make the ducks look like a lot of fun!

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Aww thnx, water fowl are pretty incredible eh. I don’t measure the stuff I just put a jar mixed in the feeder 😊

@marcelinollopispons159 7 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it, thnx 😊

When you talked about how the ducks keep the insects under control in the orchard, what came to my mind was the insects hearing the sound of their impending doom as the ducks started to bear down on the bugs' positions. I couldn't stop laughing, and explaining why I was laughing to my wife was hard because it's such an odd thing to picture. Thanks for the big laugh! Greetings from Vietnam :)

@sherylhumberger5417 7 месяцев назад

Watched your video on your Khaki ducks. Bought two last spring. Lucky I got two females. My cousin wanted to get rid of a male. I took him in before the girls came. He was is so funny. They are entertainment. I call them the "G" family. George, Geraldine and Genevieve. Thanks for the tip about brewer's yeast. I run them together with my chickens so they get the layers feed and I mix wild bird seed and whole corn in the feed. Just love them.

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Nice, ducks are entertaining indeed 🥸

@michaelpenrose4288 7 месяцев назад

Love my Ducks too Chad. I think the noisy ones however are the Ducks and not the Drakes. My Drakes make very little sound compared to the girls but one problem this winter had been wet feather on two Saxony Drakes. really hard to shake.

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

You may be right. I’ve noticed our white ducks seem to always look damp, I’ll bet it’s affecting some of them here too.

@shellyB3nton 7 месяцев назад

Only Females quack. Males make a low murmur noise.

Name one of your chickens Jerry Lee , after the singer Jerry Lee Lewis.😊

@denisegilmore88 7 месяцев назад

I love baking with duck eggs, they make everything taste yummy.

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

I totally agree!

@memo61273 21 день назад

Silly question. Do they take bath in the winter, if yes how do you keep their pool/bath water from frozen solid, do you use de-icer also? I dont see it in your video. Or do you change their bath water everyday but that is too much work. Thank you

@HiddenSpringFarm 20 дней назад

It’ll be in the video, but thru the winter I use small rubber bowls with an electric heater puck and it works great. Keeps the water unfrozen and I just dump out the water and fill it up everyday.

@VintageStylebyJo 7 месяцев назад

The ducks are happy just doing their thing ❤🥰I enjoy watching them 🤗

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Yeah I can tell they’re like me and can’t wait till spring 😆

@BrentwoodFamilyinVietnam 7 месяцев назад

I really like it when animals and people work synergistically like that :).

@shanellstrehlow7110 7 месяцев назад

I asked you this before, what is that word you keep using to call the geese and ducks up for the evening? I find it an interesting word and find it amazing that they seem to know what it means.

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

“Tulugan Na” means “go to bed” in Tagalog (Filipino) I’ve been saying it for 3 years so I hope they’ll listen without Olive helping me. Ducks are very easy to herd anyway, all I do is walk and they run away in whatever direction I’m not.

@manub6556 7 месяцев назад

❤Chad......da wird Dein nächstes Projekt...vielleicht ein Teich für die Enten und Gänse sein😅😅😅😊❤ Lg.Manu 🙋‍♀️

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Maybe this summer

@dawnschaeffer807 7 месяцев назад

What is the phrase (not English) that you say to the ducks when you're ushering them back to the duck house?

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Haha "Tulugan Na" basically means "go to bed" in Tagalog (Filipino) Ducks are easy to herd back to the house but one day if I have a pond and need to get the ducks back to the house I'm hoping I can shout that phrase and they'll be trained by then. I thought it'd be funny since my Darlin is a Filipina.

@Wicked_urban_garden 7 месяцев назад

How do you keep them from flying away? Sorry if someone else already asked.

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Unlike wild ducks, They can only get a few feet off the ground.

@jimomertz 7 месяцев назад

They need a pond!

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

They would love a pond, but they don’t need one. It’d be frozen over from about mid November until April anyway. It may be a project for this summer but we’ll have to see.

@LindaKieliszewski-jd5qu 7 месяцев назад

The ducks sure are tense, nervous nellies or fraidy cats as we say in Wisconsin. 😅

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Yup, even though I hatched them, raised them, handled them they still keep their distance.

@azamyahmad 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely beautiful sharing adventure documentary countryside content video and a very interesting video to watch .. gorgeous filming edition captured footage and the filming edition captured camera work looks super awesome super sharp and clear .. thanks again

@sandradenio5474 7 месяцев назад

Have you ever thought of putting up a bat house?

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Yes I actually researched how to build a few as we do have bats here. A single bat can eat up to 600 insects in one night so they’re incredible insect control. I’ll get to it eventually.

@CmdrSoCal 7 месяцев назад

A good feed will have niacin and yeast added. The feed I use has 5 different yeast and niacin. Occasionally I get some romaine for the geese during the winter. 19 goose eggs from 2 girl geese so far.

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Wow our geese haven’t started yet, still too wintery I guess. Here in our area there are only two places to get feed…PeaveyMart and a local co-op and they both carry the same 3 different types of feeds. Canada is limited unlike in the US and other countries that have so many people therefore more options. Most feed have generally the same ingredients though don’t they? What brand do u use?

@CmdrSoCal 7 месяцев назад

@@HiddenSpringFarm Usually Earth First starter and layer with some kelp and herbs added and always egg shells fed back to them. Got a bunch of Scratch and Peck organic on discount as well recently. Organic cracked corn always for both geese and chickens.

@79PoisonBreaker 7 месяцев назад

I like your ducks, and ducks in general are fun . have you given your ducks peas yet? I hear they go crazy for thawed out frozen peas. muscovy ducks are a tropical breed that can't handle cold as well as others, they are the exception to the rule as they can actually freeze their feet. Ducks are fun ,very fun but messy, very messy haha.

@CmdrSoCal 7 месяцев назад

canned peas have worked for baby geese

@HiddenSpringFarm 7 месяцев назад

Yes they do enjoy peas. Muscovies are tropical but my understanding is that they do very well in the cold also, they are a very popular homestead duck up here in Canada. They definitely need a place to get nasty.

@79PoisonBreaker 7 месяцев назад

I'm in Manitoba, a bit colder then you and yes they are hardy but they are the least hardy of all ducks as they can freeze their feet and around their head.@@HiddenSpringFarm
