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.

Our Chickens Got SUPERHERO Capes! (hen saddles)

Our Chickens Got SUPERHERO Capes! (hen saddles)

Our chickens started getting some bare spots on their backs due to aggressive mating by our rooster. To protect their backs, we got them over the wing hen saddles (also called hen aprons). Watch as we attempt to put them on and see what the chickens think about them!
*It is normal for chickens to have an adjustment period with hen saddles. By the end of Day 2, all chickens were perfectly adjusted...including purple :0)
