Mountain Valley View Farm is proud to introduce our growing family of farm animals. We love our farm animals and take great pride in raising them organically, the way nature intended. Take a look at some of the chickens, ducks, and geese you can expect to find on our family farm!

Chickens

Araucana (left) This unusual breed gets its name from the Indian tribe of Chile where they were first discovered. Araucanas lay beautiful, tasty eggs of blue-green shades from turquoise to deep olive.

Plymouth Barred Rock (right) The quintessential American chicken, the Plymouth Barred Rock is an all-time favorite that was first bred in the 1800s.

Red Star Hybrid (left) The Red Star is hardy bird that is sex-linked: that is, at birth, it easy to determine which chicks are male and which are female depending on their color. Females chicks are reddish brown and males are white.

Ducks

Blue Swedish (left) This unusual duck has beautiful silvery blue, white, and black feathers and comes from the coastal areas of Holland, Germany, and Belgium.

Cayuga (right) Once the primary source of duck meat, Cayugas are an unusual and beautiful bird with glossy, iridescent black plumage that eventually turns white as they age.

Chocolate Runner (left) This is an ancient, hardy breed from Southeast Asia, and are sometimes called Indian Runners because they were originally imported to England on a ship from the Indies.

Gold Star Hybrid (right) Calm, even-tempered ducks that are excellent layers. Like Red Star chickens, their gender can be distinguished at birth by their color.

Khaki Campbell (left) A popular and famous breed, Khakis are some of the most reliable domestic layers. They were developed in England in 1901.

Welsh Harlequin (right) A beautiful, more recent breed with an excellent laying ability and unusual markings. They are quite popular.

White Layer (left) A lovely all-white duck that lays only white eggs, as opposed to the mixed blue and white eggs produced by the Gold Star that is its cousin.

Geese

African (left) Despite its name, this goose is actually descended from the wild Asian Swan Goose of China. They are active and somewhat noisier than other geese.

Brown Chinese (right) A smaller, lighter goose, the Brown Chinese has a more pronounced forehead knob than the other Asiatic geese.

Buff (left) A calm, friendly bird with coloring that is unusual for a goose. They were originally bred for meat, since the pinfeathers are easier to pluck.

French Toulouse (right) Hardy, commercial birds raised primarily for their meat. These Toulouse are directly descended from French birds.

Sebastopol (left) The gorgeous, unique Sebastopol comes from the countries around the Black Sea, and they have been around for hundreds of years. They were originally known as Danubians to the British or Danubio to the Spanish and Italians.

Super African (right) The Super African is a direct descendent of China’s Lion Head goose, including the pronounced dewlap on the throat. They are a fairly noisy breed, one of the best guard geese.

Toulouse (left) This popular goose originated in France, although nowadays many come from England. They are an excellent meat duck, a sturdy breed.

Tufted Buff (right) A hardy, pleasant breed that was developed as a cross between the Buff goose and the Roman Tufted goose.

Tufted Toulouse (left) A calm breed with all the characteristics of the French Toulouse, but with a tuft on its head like the Roman Tufted.

White Chinese (right) A pure white goose descended from the wild swans of China, although interestingly enough, the swans did not have the forehead knob. They are a sociable bird.

White Embden (left) A large white goose similar to the Toulouse, but originating in Germany. The breed has been in existence for about 200 years.
