Farmer Mary was very surprised to find a secret turkey nest today at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. Her current turkey female is a cross between Royal Palm and Blue Slate who hatched here this past spring.
🦃🥚Turkeys very rarely lay eggs in winter and now Farmer Mary has to decide whether to let the turkey keep laying eggs and hopefully set on them but when they hatch what if it is serious cold??? Severe cold could easily kill the “poults” especially with an inexperienced Mother. Or, take the eggs and incubate them but then Farmer Mary will have to be their Mother for many months and keep them warm. Waiting to see if more eggs come. Farmer Mary added more hay to the nest to keep the eggs from freezing and will probably take the eggs indoors on upcoming seriously freezing cold nights.
🐶🐶🐶🐶BTW: We have alot of dogs here. If you don’t love dogs please don’t come!🐶🐶🐶🐶
🎄We take Christmas trees. Drop any time in parking lot.🎄

🐏Please look for the VERY VERY well marked entrance at 12936 Ghoston Road in Wake Forest. DO NOT turn down Farmer Mary’s neighbors private Road behind the barn when your GPS says to.

Farmer Mary loves seeing Mother Daughter fun at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC. This young visitor enjoyed hand feeding the peacocks who like to hang out on the roof of Farmer Mary’s house. Have YOU fed a peacock? They love to eat grapes, plain cheerios, romaine and kale, blueberries, whole wheat Ritz crackers and more. Always #lookup while you are on a farm visit!
