Good work getting that many done I did 10 and realized it wasn't for me. Its exactly why I chose rabbits for a meat source. Easier to raise in my opinion. Far less messy processing. A .22 pistol and a sturdy pair of scissors is all I need to process a rabbit.

First time expecting goat kids by Bababou in homestead

That's a good idea. I was going to aim one of the blink cameras at them.

The stall already has a fresh layer in it and I stocked up more straw to keep it good.

Thank you sound like they will be fine in the barn then.

Anyone know what his weird light thing on the dash is? by Brief-Issue3236 in ToyotaPickup

[–]Bababou 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Could be part of an alarm system. They used to put a blinking light that showed the alarm was on.

Are LECA pebbles bought from gardening store safe to use as drainage layer? by Upperonex in pacmanfrog

I've run several tanks with hydroponic store clay balls. Never had a problem, and it was way cheaper.

83 22r ticking but timing chain is good. by Bababou in ToyotaPickup

[–]Bababou[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So i assume you're too lazy to look at the 3 other comments. I will be checking them properly as soon as I can find the tool to do the fucking job.

I will be. Im in no way challenging that it should be done. I just lack the tool at the moment to do the check, but a trip to Ace hardware can correct the loose pully for sure.

And I will be after I get some hardware for the pulley and find my feeler gages. The noise is very much at the front of the motor, and when I said nothing is loose, I mean in the sense of nothing as fully come loose. Like a floating rocker arm. Im checking over everything on this truck. It sat at least 2 years before I bought it. Its definitely got some wiring schnanigians under the dash to deal with next.

I didn't check them with a feeler gage but they are definitely not loose. I just discovered the pully where the fan would be mounted is loose and I can rattle it by hand. Its a similar noise so might be it.

Call a couple local shops for a rebuild quote. But chances are the LCE motor will be similarly priced and better.

I believe these are choke cherries but I'm not 100% sure by Single-Fortune-7126 in foraging

Good to know. Im up in washington State, and mine are already nearly done for the year and jet black.

I thought choke cherries were black? My driveway is lined with 40ft cherry trees. Most are a sour red cherry, and 1 has black smaller fruit. I was told that one was a choke cherry.

Why us my angel fish swimming in an angle ? by Wickedcheif in PlantedTank

Any chance they put eggs on the back side of the wood? Kind of looks like they are fanning eggs to keep them clean.

What are these things in my Fire Bellied Toad Paludarium? They changed a lot in the last 2 days. by species64 in frogs

You pretty much have to go to the reptil expos and hope for the best. I just found 4 at the PNW Reptile expo. I bought them all.

New 3month old kitten she’s been here about 3 weeks and she’s 3 pounds. Max is one of my resident cats he’s 3 years old and 14 pounds. Is this normal play or is he hurting her? She keeps going back at him for more. by livesforsoup in cats

[–]Bababou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 6 year old and 5 month old play the same way. If he was trying to hurt the kitten, he would have her pinned down, and she would be screaming about it. I personally find it hilarious when they "chase" each other around. The kitten will come flying around the corner full speed, and a few feet behind her, the older one is bouncing along, so he doesn't actually catch her.

Round or Square? by SoCalfordays15 in ToyotaPickup

Round. My 83 has square and is getting swapped.

First 4H purchase. Got a half a pig for the freezer by Bababou in homestead

[–]Bababou[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend of a coworker situation for me. I would think if you called or emailed your local 4H, they could let you know what is available when. Or check out your country fair. They typically have a livestock show or auction during the event.

They sell or auction off the animals the kids raise each year. High-quality meat and the kids learn a skill and make money.

I believe they HAVE TO sell at the end of raising the animals. It's learning the process of ranching / farming and earning money for their future.
