The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[The Moonshiner]

I have just sold my 2020 Ford Everest, its served me very well but has started to make some small hic-ups ever now and again...
I have done 150k + kms (93,000 miles) in it in the last 4 years with no issues.

I think they are a NZ and aussie version (think smaller F150)

Do you have the Ranger version?

She needs a calcium citrate +D3 tablet inserted in her beak every night for a week. Sometimes they need the Vit D boost to help them absorb the calcium.

just went out to give the girls their mealworms,,the leghorn was totally uniterested...her comb is laying to one side...she's not feeling good...saw a little bit of runny poop coming from her, almost like a drool and yellowish white. Wonder if she ate too much grass yesterday for their first day of free ranging....she was drinking......I guess tomorrow morning will tell me more

Ya at one time the F150 was our full size Ford truck and the Ranger was their little truck.

Ya at one time the F150 was our full size Ford truck and the Ranger was their little truck.

I wish there were more little trucks like what a lot of the trucks were in the '90s! I want to switch from my hatchback to an actual truck but I feel like all the trucks these days are so massive and have barely any bed space to be used as an actual truck I feel like now they're all just essentially SUVs with a tiny little 5/6 foot bed, it's funny my dad has a Nissan Titan King Cab and I can fit more and longer lumber in my Mazda hatchback then he can in his truck bed lol

Was thinking maybe just tried and true Tacoma 2 door with more bed space but I don't know enough about the other makes to know if theres something better. I learned how to drive in my dad's last Nissan Titan in the early 2000s and I do love driving it there's definitely a sense of confidence driving something that huge but I don't need anything that big haha any suggestions?

Yep Ranger is small F150 and the Everest is the "wagon" version of the ranger

Ya idk about anything newer. Never owned anything newer then an 07.
I have a 05 F150 and it has a full 8' bed but that's because it doesn't have the back seats. That extra passenger room kills the bed size.
Only small truck I've had was 2 Nissans back in the day. On has regular cab 4WD. I loved it. It was a little stomper truck. I used to take it mudding and it'd go places a lot of other trucks couldn't make it.
The second had the little jump seats and was 2WD. I was so impresses with it. My brother had a couple S10s. Early 2000s or when ever they had the body change so they weren't squared off. They weren't too reliable. I never would want one.
Friend had a Tacoma that was a bit newer then what we had. A TDR or whatever they were. Looked like a 4WD but wasn't. That seemed to be a really good little truck and he had it forever.
Always wanted a Dakota because I'm a dodge fan but never had one. Dodge seems to have issues from people I know that have them.
I'm really not much help though.

I totally feel you I would love to find a good quality early 2000s used truck I feel like trucks were so much better then I totally agree with you!

Yes, older trucks have the bigger beds in them, and don't have all of the bells and whistles that today's more modern truck's have, but there's no tracking devices in them that report you back to your insurance companies neither. I drive a 1996 Dodge Ram.

Don't get me wrong I love me some heated seats and radar cruise control but I could definitely live without them haha
