Baby guineas are growing fast! Farmer Mary has the babies (called “keets”) in a brooder which is a wooden box with a heat lamp.
The guinea mom has proven to be a less than mindful mother in the past so this time Farmer Mary took all the babies to raise. They will be moving to another larger pen soon then a larger pen and then released to hang out with the adult guineas including their parents.
Some will be for sale which helps Farmer Mary feed all the birds living at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
Quite a few are Lavender colored so will be a purply light gray with white polka dots all over when mature.
Come see them soon at Winterpast Farm. We are this Saturday from 10-5 for visits and this Sunday 12-5.
If you would like to meet all the animals at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo, PLEASE read the entire “your visit” section at www.winterpast.org which very fully explains parking, our admission price, and lists a wide variety of food you can bring for feeding the animals.
