The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds has come.
Turkey eggs started to hatch yesterday at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC! Visitors enjoyed listening to the babies pecking inside the egg on their way out. By late afternoon one family heard a baby peeping loudly inside the egg.
Farmer Mary moved the turkey who was setting under the barn sink to a large pen. The other turkey (her sister) was moved too, but she sneaked right back out and Farmer Mary found her setting in the dog house where she has been for the past few weeks so her eggs were returned there, for now.🥚🥚🥚
Stay tuned for some baby pics! These eggs were purchased from a breeder and should be Blue Slate which is a blue gray color. Photo shows at least one is NOT a Blue Slate. Farmer Mary thinks the darker one is a Black Spanish#getoutside

Please try to come another nicer day. We will be open tomorrow 9-3.
