The Worst Flooding Ever on the Farm 

My thought exactly 😂

he's like, "everything make sense now, I was adopted!"

I saw that. Lol jerk duck is a good mother

It realised they didn't speak the same lingo!

CHicken saw Jerk duck fight for her ducklings and was like: "You are my mummy now"

Morgan, gingerly picking up the duckling "welcome to the world buddy" then gets attacked by jerk duck! It's a good thing she's such a fierce mother otherwise I have a feeling she'd end up on the dining table

What a terrible night she would have had when he didn't come home....

But he had left few more eggs there. Not sure if he candled them to see if there viable

I was thinking that too. That the other eggs hadn't started hatching yet, didn't mean that they couldn't be viable.

Things like these infuriate me. As a farmer, he should know these things already 😢

Maybe inspiration for another book!

@@sjbmiranda an encyclopedia i think ~

But won't that make it too heavy to move by hand?

He has it on a metal boat frame, unless yo mean the wood should all be metal and welded to the boat frame.

​@MrsTigercat If he uses aluminum it wouldn't be to bad

A neighbor or Alfred may already have a welder. Since he can tow it anyway, he could use bigger lumber if he wants. Cows are heavy. They need to rub against the trailer. He could use 6x6 for uprights and go horizontal with 4x4 and do proper woodwork notches to join them. This would be heavy & sturdy enough to stand up to the cows. If he tries to use screw-type fasteners, even heavy lumber and big fasteners can fall apart because the structure leverages against itself. If it's weatherproof lumber, or if he wants to put linseed oil every so often, it could last a decade or more.

@@MrsTigercat Not really, lumber isn't light weight. Pipe can be no heavier since they are hollow.

lol I prefer Kalidan Stormblessed lol another great book series lol

Yassss

Glad the duckling made it. Jerk duck looks like she is telling everyone off the next day.

Stormy is a great name.

I watched part of the Livestream fundraiser & told him about how Imma Survivor Sanctuary saved their animals by evacuating a couple months ago since they thankfully new it was going to keep happening & bought a second property. But also how even though it was flooded the berm they'd originally built to protect the animals after the hurricane Harvey was still above the water line. So Morgan talked about how their taking into consideration where to build, how to build, what to build like berms & even if they'd have to evacuate animals. Unfortunately though I don't think he can evacuate more than the cats/dogs. But I think he's thinking about things like a berm for the cattle/pigs. The geese/ducks/chickens weren't evacuated since they'd be fine flying up & floating. But they even evacuated the pigs a big tom turkey & the expensive pet chickens. The Denman Homestead actually ended up on Dodo for saving baby goats in a canoe. They're part of the extended family that's started a channel & we're saving Paw Paws goats by moving them higher up. Hopefully Morgan's farm won't keep flooding. But unfortunately Imma Survivor Sanctuary will keep flooding due to new nearby developments sending water into the nearby river. It's why Lester bought a second property called Longhorn Lester's. The pigs actually aren't going back because of how hard it was to move them. But they have so much more to do & forage at the new property. Anyway Morgans place doesn't seem to be quite as bad at flooding & hopefully Peacham will insist on building things to mitigate any flooding needed. Morgan should definitely make plans for even worse flooding & then build things accordingly. So the animals can easily survive. A little water doesn't bother cattle because Paw Paws cows & stubborn Donkey Ivan were back into standing water the next day. The chickens could be moved into the barn for safety & so could the other birds. If they choose to stay there anyway. I'd put the dogs in the barn with the animals since they'd freak out over leaving their charges. Probably the barn cats too since I'm pretty sure they'd all be safe in that high barn. Lil barn cat could stay or go with Alison. Definitely also get a boat/canoe/kayak just in case for Morgan to get out. But with the barns being safer he'd probably stay with the animals. Sorry if I bored you. My entertainment is watching RU-vid & talking/commenting.

He had left few eggs in the field. They could be viable. He did a halfarse job as usual.

There's not enough attention on the internet to satisfy your need to feel seen, sweetie.

They have a hard time seeing underneath them with their heads up high.

I heard today (July 31) that some areas of Vermont had 1000 year flooding June 29 or 30!
