PEACOCK NEWS AT WINTERPAST FARM

“Justin Beiber” has turned two and has some new “eye” feathers and loves to show off his tail. It will be another year before he’s really mature, but he’s certainly got plenty of self esteem already. The female peacocks are often seen gazing out at him instead of paying attention to “Joseph” the mature male they are enclosed with.

Farmer Mary and regular visitors have enjoyed watching him grow since he hatched from an egg at Winterpast Farm.

BIG NEWS…one of the females laid an egg today (not sure it’s fertile but Farmer Mary hopes so). It is large and creamy white and was laid under the house in the pen. Farmer Mary put it, with some hay, into a low nest-like enclosure in hopes the female will lay more…maybe we’ll get babies this year!
UPDATE:
June 17,18, and 20 Farmer Mary found eggs in her peacock pen. They are in the incubator which hopefully won’t have electrical outages like last time. Cross your fingers for new babies soon!
