Welcome to Guildbrook Farm

Guildbrook Farm is a modern homestead in the foothills of Appalachia. We take our audience along on a journey to become more self-reliant by growing our own organic produce, raising animals for dairy and eggs, preparing food for long-term storage, and building off the grid renewable energy systems. In 2017, we moved to raw land where we are building a debt-free energy efficient and disaster resistant ICF mountain home. Join us as we learn to live a simple, sustainable lifestyle.

Bathing a Silkie Chicken

Bathing a Silkie Chicken

Gary the Silkie chicken is a dirty bird! She was playing in the mud, then had the unfortunate mishap of getting pooped on. Watch as Gary gets her own personal chicken spa day, complete with treats at the end.

*Yes, Gary is a hen.

Gary unfortunately passed shortly after this video was filmed. She was unique; with a full personality that was unbecoming in a chicken. She will be sorely missed.
