Baby chicks are hatching right now at Winterpast Farm petting zoo in Wake Forest NC! Lucky farm visitors who arrived after the big rain got to see and hold the brand new babies. Look closely and you will see the “egg tooth” which is a sharp point adhered to the top end of the beak which allows the chick to peck its way out of the egg. This falls off around day 3.
We have moved mom and remaining eggs to a safe pen where farm visitors can easily view the new babies.
Come meet them soon. Great short video of them at winterpast_farm on Instagram.
