Here are two of the four adult peacocks living at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. The peahen to the left just showed up last year and Farmer Mary thought she was a “Cameo” breed but further research indicates she is a “Black Shoulder” breed. She had a solid white baby (called a peachick) and a baby her same color this Spring. It will be a long time before Farmer Mary knows if they are male or female. She is really hoping the solid white one is a male!
The mature male pictured here has molted his long beautiful tail feathers and Farmer Mary has them for sale this time of year to help pay for feed for all the peacocks. Maybe in a few years she will have beautiful long white tail feathers to sell!
If you would like to meet all the animals at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo, PLEASE read the entire “your visit” 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.
