About the farm
A small farm with a big flock of fluff
Pecans & Peacocks is a family farm in Wendell, North Carolina.
Our story
We started Pecans & Peacocks as a family project with our school-age kids. We wanted them to learn where food and animals come from, and to take on real responsibility along the way.
We chose Silkies because they are gentle, curious and impossible not to smile at. Chicks that are handled kindly from day one grow into friendly birds.
The kids are the farm crew
They help with daily chores like fresh water, feed and keeping things tidy, and they are the reason the chicks get so much handling.
We keep our children’s names and faces off this website, so you will see chicks, feathers and the occasional pair of hands.
Where we are headed
Silkie chicks come first. Over time we may add other poultry and small livestock. If you want to hear about it first, get in touch.

Why Pecans & Peacocks?
The name comes from two things you will find on our farm: pecan trees and peafowl. Our logo brings them together in one tree.
More than chickens live here
Silkies are the stars, but they share the farm with a few other characters.
