SECRET NEST DISCOVERED

Farmer Mary spotted a guinea setting on this secret nest of eggs at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. When the guinea left her nest briefly for a drink of water Farmer Mary took a closer look at the nest where there are a variety of duck eggs, chicken eggs and guinea eggs. A Crested Polish hen is setting on one side of the nest along with the guinea. Chicken and guinea eggs will hatch first (21 days) so Farmer Mary may have to incubate the remaining duck eggs (28 days). She will be keeping a close eye on this nest.
