The baby goslings sleeping with their head down is the cutest thing ♥️

I love those happy baby bird sounds they made as they launched into the grass clippings. Such a happy bunch. Thank you for all the great tips!

I'm a poultry farmer as well and that genius notion of using chick feeders as waterers is amazing! Just a note on Indian Runner ducks, I adopted one lonely 1 day old duckling (named Dhoop) and raised her inside as a house pet (pet house ducks are actually more common than one might think!) and because I spent so much time with her she's honestly the best, most loyal and caring friend I've ever had. I've had dogs in the past and she's honestly way more cuddly, loving and defensive of me then they ever were! Keep up the good work and keep on uploading such great content, thank you for all that you do!

My wife and I have an empty nest so we are beginning a *real* flock. We have several acres to play on so we're trying out several breeds of chickens and we grabbed a few ducks while we were at it. And, now all I want to do is go out and play with my birds~ I would highly recommend keeping a flock for those suffering from real depression. Sure, bad things happen and you'll have to dispatch a bird now and then. But, as long as you're ready for that eventuality, the delight and happiness far outweigh the sad and nasty! I enjoy your videos! Fun, and informative. Release the Quacken!! XOXO.

You’ve saved us bird newbies again! I’m on my first small flock, you helped me so much in the beginning and now reiterating things for more people helps them in the long run!! Some people don’t think of the long term and your videos and advice are spot on!! 👍🏻

Fantastic tutorial! Goslings are the most precious babies you will ever hold or keep. My oldest (38 now) calls them WeeeWeees and 8 years later my older birds still come to that call. She's a 5th generation goose keeper now! Exactly right if you treat your goslings like a kitten or puppy - a pet, they are awesome.

I’m only 10 but I would love to own ducks. My parents aren’t overjoyed with the idea of ducks especially because we are moving houses in a week or so. I have done a lot of research and enjoy watching your videos. I am hoping to get around three female white Pekin ducklings. If there’s any tips to help my parents be more appealed to the idea of owning ducks, please tell me! Love your channel btw!!

I'm thinking to raise Welsh Harlequins, they are said to be calmer than Campbells, lay almost the same amount of eggs, plus they are very pretty.

You remind us of Elia from Stargate Universe. So thank you for making learning that much more enjoyable. Cheers!

I always find my waterfowl so amusing. When they are babies, they love to be near you and be held. Then, when they grow up, they behave like you're a chainsaw wielding maniac out to destroy them, lol.

[MICHAELTELL]

your videos keep a sense of normalized life for us(me) ty for being back!!

[roxannabrollier]
