    Sick Chicken Wiki

    Hi everyone, For years we have used this book “Poultry and Waterfowl Problems” by Michael Roberts to help us. We created a quick wiki on our website if anyone wants to take a look. http://www.snowypinesridge.com/birds-2/chickens/sick-chicken/

    EMERGENCY, BLEEDING FOOT - Found an injured dove in the backyard, now what?

    Hi, If you have any steptic powder that will stop the bleeding. If you do not have any of that you can use alum powder ( the stuff that makes dill pickles to make you pucker). I guess in a jamb you could try the pickle or the juice also....it might work....

    Bee keeping

    Had the same thing happen the other day when we got our bees. I sent the wife back to the house to get a marshmellow. Came back in about 4 days....they didn't like the marshmellow. Maybe GMO?? Either way I just dug it out and set her loose.

    Aquaponics

    Fish are one of those critters that I admit are sometimes hard to find. Normally you can't go onto craigslist and find them. Although I did prove myself wrong today when I saw a local craigslist ad advertising tilapia. I am guessing that since you are in the south east catfish farms are more...

    Setting up an aquaponics greehouse - what did you do?

    In our aquaponics greenhouse we probably have a lot of different problems than you will. Our biggest issue is snow loads on the green house. I am planning on rebuilding the whole thing this spring. As for you being in LA, I am guessing that you will have water issues. As for the operation...

    Home Made Soda Pop

    For years we have been home brewing our own soda pop as a treat. We brewed up a batch of root beer the other day and decided to show everyone how we do it. Take a look: http://www.snowypinesridge.com/2013/02/02/root-beer/ Thanks for looking!

    Aquaponics

    We have close to 2 feet of snow on top of the green house now...I am amazed the thing is still standing. Not bad for only spending a hundred bucks on a used green house! While everything is nearly dead there are a couple of survivors. Here is a link to some of our pics...

    Aquaponics

    Permits are a definate issue. In Oregon, when we lived there, the state was always wanting to over regulate farms, this was one of the reasons we left. In Washington to be legal you have to be inspected and pay a $250 dollar tax on all "ponds" (which, I am sure every person pays). If I put...

    Aquaponics

    Demosthine, Your right there is a ton of information out there now. When I started there was very little information. A lot of what I did was by the seat of the pants and trying to use logic. Many of the systems that I saw had too much electrical input. I wanted to use logic...water flows...

    Heating Question

    Agreed! Rocket stoves are the only way to go....Now if I could only get a little time and money to build one in our aquaponic greenhouse!
