RESIDENT "FACULTY"

Meet our animal friends at Rooster Valley Farm School

Rooster Valley Farm School has some unique resident "faculty." Our farm animals live on campus. Our classroom dogs and cat commute each day. Hover over animals below to learn more about them.

Resident "Faculty" barnyard friends:

Boots

Boots, a Norwegian Dwarf Goat, enjoys being fed by hand. He has attended Heirloom's (a local restaurant) birthday party where he was very social & enjoyed the fine dining. Boots seems to be the main greeter in the RVFS barnyard.
Button
Wilbur

Wilbur claims to be a Micro Teacup Pig. This might be true if we lived in the giant's home in Jack & the Beanstalk. Wilbur enjoys being rubbed on the belly, having his skin exfoliated, and eating...well, everything. He has a hard time seeing, so please do not feed him out of your hand.
Button
Lambert

He is our taller Babydoll sheep. He enjoys rubs above his nose.
Button
"President" Jemima

Jemima the Runner Duck was voted in as President of the Barnyard this year (2020). She won against Boots the goat. Our last president, Prudence the hen, died in office.
Button
Maggie

Being a Magpie duck, Maggie is very talkative. She is RVFS' oldest duck. She enjoys eating lettuce and making a very loud quacking sound that sounds like a laughing man.
Button
Wooley

Our shorter Babydoll sheep. He enjoys following Lambert around & eating treats for breakfast from students in the mornings.
Button
Beau

Ms. Jen's Bernese Mountain Dog in her classroom.

Edwina

Our grandma hen who is the oldest at this point! We also call her Disco Chicken because of her big leg feathers like bellbottoms!

Button
Slinky

Ms. Tricia's class dog. She is a mini-dachshund and acts as our security dog :)

Button
Molasses

One of our Flemish Giants. She is NOT as slow as molasses though. :)

Fluffy is really a bantam hen (Elton's daughter) who snuck out to live with the big hens in the main part of the barnyard when she was about 6 months old! She can hold her own and is very fast!

Prudence RIP

One of our oldest chickens! She broke her foot years ago, but worked through it and is a go-getter! Prudence was voted in as RVFS' first Barnyard President in 2016 by all of our students. Snaps the goat lost that race.

He was more shy than Boots. He liked to nap sitting down in the straw. Wasn't that into food.
