The solid white baby peacock (called a “peachick”) at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo keeps on putting up his or her tail feathers helping along Farmer Mary’s hopes that it will turn out to be a male. The other peachicks of the same age aren’t doing this at all.
It is very hard to determine the gender of peachicks, especially white ones. That can take two years! Farmer Mary is dreaming of a white male with beautiful long all white tail feathers…growing out the long male tail feathers would take three full years! Peacock breeding is definitely not for the impatient! Fingers crossed!

Greetings this gray morning from Farmer Mary and DAISY, one of the former pet “micro mini” “teacup” pigs now living at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo. Originally purchased for over $3000, DAISY was supposedly only going to grow to 35 pounds.
Farmer Mary is offered a “too big” pet pig who “grew larger than the breeder said” EVERY week of EVERY month of EVERY year. Pigs grow and grow and then they grow some more. You cannot keep a pig small by starving it. Pigs do not stay small. Pig Breeders forget to tell you that pigs will continue to grow for four full years.
DAISY is just now four. When she moved to Winterpast Farm she was quite small and she wore a tutu at birthday parties and a pretty pink harness. Eventually she outgrew five harnesses and six tutus and now she is living with another pig and all the other large animals in the pasture here at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
Do not buy a “mini” pig! If friends make plans to buy one tell them Farmer Mary has one they can see in person. Farmer Mary and sweet DAISY will encourage them to reconsider purchasing a “mini” pig.

Who is the cutest baby goat? Sweet baby girl CAITLINN at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC!! A teen volunteer likes to snuggle with her in the hammocks at Winterpast Farm. CAITLINN is still on a bottle so maybe you can help Farmer Mary feed her next time you come on a farm visit.
