    The Old Rebels Member Page

    OK. This is my first attempt at trying to create my own BYC page. I hope it works. My DH and I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina just outside of Hendersonville. We live in an old, rustic cabin (yes, we do have indoor plumbing and electricity) along with our dog, Joey, an...

    I am offended.... should I be?

    Dar, I had no idea about all that you have been through in your life. But I was right that the issues run a lot deeper than just eggs. Just want you to know how SORRY I am for all that you have lived through and for all that your poor mother has had to deal with. I'm sending hugs..... LOTS of...

    Please, please pray! Desperate!

    I just want to thank everyone who is praying in my behalf. Our Lord has given me a scripture to stand on in faith that He is going to heal me (II Corinthians 1:8-11), and it involves the prayers of many being lifted up to Him in faith. I am in the late stages of Stage IV Invasive Breast...

    I think I need a big brother.

    Hang in there, kiddo. It'll get better. Have you ever thought about being to your little brother what you want in a big brother??? I was the younger sister. I know I drove my sister crazy, but I idolized her. Your little brother probably feels the same way about you. Let us know how it's...

    We could do nothing

    I couldn't help but notice that in your story you asked God for help. Wasn't it AWESOME how He answered your prayer??!!!!! At first the dead field mocked that prayer, but in His timing, He sent the PERFECT answer. THANKS sooooooooo much for sharing that AWESOME story with us.

    We're definitely praying for Maddie and her entire family. Is there any further news yet on how she is doing??

    I am offended.... should I be?

    I might be wrong, but it seems to me your issues with your parents run a whole lot deeper than just the egg issue. It comes down to a HUGE thing called RESPECT and it needs to go both ways. I am in your parents' generation, so I can tell you that many of us were raised, both in words and, more...

    Is there a thread that explains all the abbreviations

    On chicken breeds, the one that used to get me was OEGB. That's Old English Gamebird Bantam. Found that out when I found one beside the road in a BUSY business intersection and was asking if anyone knew what she was. I think EE's are Easter Eggers - the ones that lay the colored eggs. RIR's...

    Anyone inspire you today?

    About seven months ago I started feeding a feral adolescent cat who looked like she was close to starving to death. A couple of days later, she brought her three about seven-week-old kittens to the food bowl. Scrappy Mama (as I call her now) was literally starving herself trying to keep her...

    Friends? Does anyone have TRUE ones? Venting!

    I don't know what to say. I've just read through this entire thread. I guess I'll start by saying that I am friends with Chickensioux. I live (when I am privilieged enough to be there) right up the road from her. I can honestly tell everyone that Chickensioux's animals live in the Ritz and...

    3 sick peachicks. How to mix Sulmet?

    Three of my white/ black shoulder peachicks are not doing well. Wings are drooping. They sit with their eyes closed or their heads tucked under a wing too much during the day. I've been out of town taking care of my Mom. My DH didn't realize they were sick. Thought they weren't resting well...

    Will the daddy peacock hurt or kill newly hatched chicks??

    Thanks, Kev, for the info. I REALLY appreciate it. So far the daddy (Solomon) has kept his distance. If he gets too close, she "pops" at him. He hasn't made any moves to hurt them.... at least not that we've seen. But we're thinking that we will move them into the house that's attached to...

    Will the daddy peacock hurt or kill newly hatched chicks??

    My white/black-shouldered peahen hatched five peachicks yesterday and last night. The daddy is still in the pen with her. Will he hurt or kill the babies?? He was born wild and raised in the wild. I've only had him a couple of months or so, so I really don't want to let him out to free range...

    Miracle!! UPDATING AGAIN..& YOU GUYS WILL NEVER BELIEVE THIS ONE! (+?)

    Congratulations!!! I've had miracles like that myself. I have a duck named Hearty Hardy Harley, because there were four miracles involved in her hatching. Her mother had left the nest with other babies. I had asked my neighbor to let me know if she had any eggs, but she failed to notify me...
