TURKEY NEST DISCOVERED!

While gathering eggs today to sell to a farm visitor, Farmer Mary discovered a secret nest with three turkey eggs! This is past the usual time of laying for turkeys, but fingers are crossed for eventual babies (called “poults”) for THOMAS and his wife TURKEY LURKEY at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC!

THREE YEARS WITH BARNEY

Three years have passed since BARNEY moved to Winterpast Farm to be Farmer Mary’s little man. Nice to add to the annual pasture photo series taken by talented son, Thomas. Hoping BARNEY is still around for next year’s photo! At 17 he is going strong meeting farm visitors daily and following Farmer Mary around and around at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.

FRIZZLE ROOSTER UP CLOSE

Closeup of one of the Frizzle roosters at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. He sleeps right outside Farmer Mary’s front door each night.

Frizzle have curved follicles just like people who have curly hair. The feathers are curly because of the curve. Farmer Mary has lots of Frizzles at Winterpast Farm, mostly children of this rooster who was a former pet before being donated to Winterpast Farm.

Recently VINNIE went on a several day long home stay where he got alot of extra attention and the family had a great time. Read more at Pet Rental at www.winterpast.org. Help Farmer Mary recycle existing pets instead of creating more.
