🥚A few times a year Farmer Mary finds a teeny egg like this green one at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC . She calls them teenage eggs meaning a young chickens first egg. Some old hens eventually lay tiny eggs and then no eggs at all. Some call them Fairy eggs. A first egg or a last egg. They are sure cute!
🥚🐓🦆Farmer Mary has chicken and duck eggs for sale. Duck eggs have a higher white to yolk ratio and are particularly good for baking. $5 a dozen helps support all the birds including some retired former pet chickens now living at Winterpast Farm.
🥚Paid farm visit is not required for purchase. You can text Farmer Mary at 919-244-1800 and she can leave a dozen or two out at the old tobacco barn for contactless pickup any time. Just pay in the box at the gate. The tiny green egg is available for purchase🙂.
