Farmer Mary was out by the Pond at Winterpast tonight feeding the fish and she saw a turtle outside the water. It is a female Yellow Slider former pet someone donated to Winterpast. Farmer Mary checked with her friend Michelle Tilley who owns The Traveling Tortoise and Michelle says the female turtle is thinking about laying eggs! The female will dig several holes using her rear legs and finally settle on what she considers the perfect nest to lay 6-10 eggs. The eggs hatch in about 3 months. The baby turtles, called hatchlings, will stay in the nest for the fall and winter seasons. In the spring they will emerge and enter the water. Farmer Mary will be keeping an eye out for eggs.

Chicks hatched earlier than expected this morning at Winterpast Farm petting zoo. Farmer Mary thought she had timed the hatch to be later this week but then she heard the special shrill newborn “peep” in her dining room. Tomorrow morning she is delivering the eggs to a preschool where they have an incubator all warmed up with the hatch planned for a few days from now. Surprise! Three more eggs in the middle of the incubator have started to hatch. Farmer Mary is hoping at least some of the eggs will wait more patiently! Silly chicks!!
Update-one more hatched, a solid black one, at 11:30pm
