That Chicken Guy!
My name is Mikel, I'm in the middle of my 40's living a middle class life in Middle Tn. I have an amazing wife Hannah and 3 awesome children from the ages of 2 to 18.
With my background in Alcoholics Anonymous, and the concept of sharing your experience, strength and hope, my wife and I have decided to share our journey together as we seek out a simpler lifestyle in this new frontier of modern day living.
Being born in the 80’s, we remember a time growing up when there were no cell phones, no internet, no gps, etc… Now closing in our forties, with the world accelerating in technology that is meant to make our lives easier, yet it has somehow made them far more complicated, we have found ourselves longing for our younger years. What we believe was a simpler time.
So, we’ve decided to do what we can to have that. A simpler life. Some call it homesteading. We like to say were keeping up with the times while trying to get back to our roots.

From Backyard to BarnYard Brooders! | Ep1 Pastured Poultry
In this episode, I talk about what I have been learning about brooders and the difference from raising a few meat birds in water troughs in my backyard to raising 100 at a time in a shed that has been converted into a brooder here at Hardison Mill Farm.

I'm Raising 600 Cornish Cross Chickens for meat | Pastured Poultry Series Kickoff
zhlédnutí 875Před 2 měsíci
THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW THIS ALL GOT STARTED! This year I decided instead of raising meat chickens for myself in my own backyard, what if I could turn it into a business and raise them at our family farm (Hardison Mill) for our family, but also to sell to the community in hopes to help raise money for our non-profit. So like a crazy man, I've decided to try and raise over 600 meat chickens, ho...
Serenity Prayer...

"I wanted to try to make something different. Something that wasn’t for views or likes or subscribers. Something that came from inside me. Something that would make “me” feel something. And all I could think about was the Serenity Prayer and my recovery. What it meant to me. What I felt when I thought about it. How I’ve applied it to my life and how I apply it to my life every day. And this is ...

I love the Freedom Rangers. We grow to 12 weeks and average 6 1/2 lbs fully processed. The cost is under $3 / lb. I want to try Delaware BROILERS to see if they do well as a true dual purpose that can, hopefully, reproduce true to kind by keeping the largest ones for breeding.
the regular Delaware is only good as a slow cooked bird for soup, not intended to be a broiler.
This is an awesome video Mikel!! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy following along while working in my mechanic shop here in Wyoming.
Just what I needed today I lost my dad when I was 14 I'm 39 now and I so wish to be with him hearing this beautiful song made me cry I think this was his sign to me as thisbwas first thing that came up on my page. Thank u xx
🙋🏻♀️ I’ll be first in line to buy chicken from you!
Love how you’ve repurposed the barn!!
This made me smile lol.
Glory be! "Saving souls for supper!" 🤣😎👍🙏❤️
Though I’ll never have the opportunity to homestead, that way of living is dear to my heart. I’ll be content to vicariously experience it through your videos - thank you so much for sharing the process ❤️
Awesome video, Mikel. Looking forward to the next (and the next and the next...).
Dude... crushing the story telling game! Well done!
Thanks man!😃
Another great video... thanks for sharing... you are learning very quickly and becoming a natural at raising your own birds... I look forward to the next video... keep up the good work.
I've been there to...sober since 2016. God bless you Mikel <3
Amen💚
Look forward to seeing your video series. Coming to Rory's Homestead Festival in June, look forward to seeing you. Going to place an order!
Look forward to seeing you too😀
This is great work - will def be tuning in!
Living in California prevents me from ordering chickens or participating in workshops but I’m thrilled to be watching your upcoming videos and am supporting your endeavors in spirit 🐓🐓🐓
Nice story! I'll be watching.
Awesome
This guy has it easy because he was born with that beard, us that can't grow a beard won't ever be able to raise more than 4 chickens.
Ha. You got this!💪🏻
Good video. Been trying to decide between ranger and Delaware's
Thanks man
Love this video... you will do great Mikel... you have so much passion and determination... and a beautiful family too... thanks for another great video.
Yessss!!!!!
You sure upped your game! I don't think you will fowl! Lol😅😂😂
🤣
@MikelHunt don't give us any chick bait titles... I got tons more!
Fun! Good luck!
Thank y’all for watching 😊
Mikel, you have surely blossomed! I think you've found your niche! Your passion, your drive and your joy is shining through! Wishing you all the best and, as always, keeping your family in prayer.
He's so doggone darlin'.
I seriously can't watch this enough. I pray God blesses you for making this Mikel and that it reaches the lost and hurting people AND that they can turn their lives around like you, and EVEN I have. In Jesus' mighty name and for His glory. Amen.
Amen Cousin
Hallelujah Mikel! Absolutely beautiful.

I know you're taking time off from this but I do hope you come back... your video's and stories have touched my heart... thank you xo
I just found you, I follow your uncle Rory... I'm going through all of your videos and I am loving all of them... you have the sweetest family ever... and I want some of your mom's breakfast ☺
☺️ thank you
Was harvesting e4asier on your back? I assume youd have a great harvest overhead
Definitely, just hanging everywhere ready to pick!😀
I've watched this video a few times because it comes through with great feeling. I'm adding to my 'favs of others' playlist because it is so powerful. Hope to see more videos from you soon.
Love my Delawares. Great temperament, non aggressive roosters, egg laying machines, start laying sooner. There is also a Delaware broiler that is even larger.
1. Something that same size labeled "garden trellis"would've cost a fortune 2. It will last forever 3. You can grow something new & different on it every season, yet still not have tried everything 4. Home grown taste and variety doesn't even compare to store bought... Definitely worth every penny.
Those Red Rangers don't look right at all. I've had Freedom Rangers once and Red Rangers once; the FRs grew similar to Cornish, as they had the gene mixed in with about 3 other heritage breeds. The Red Rangers were actually MMs big red broilers. They were bad, but not as bad as your RRs. Only half of mine looked like a normal bird. Yours look like plain old Road Island Reds. I was lucky to get 3.5-4lb carcasses @ 8-9 weeks, and those were the roos.
Yea, I see your point… I may need to make sure I’m getting what I think I’m getting!
Delawares are a established breed, they will breed true. Rangers are a hybrid, they will not breed true.
I think he means dual purpose
@@Mr.D_homsteds They may not breed true, but breeding the hens with a dual purpose roo is going to make a big bird, even if it doesn't quite grow as fast. I'm going to find out what happens when I breed my two rockstar freedom rangers (11 & 13 lbs) with a New Hampshire roo here in a few months. Should be interesting.
The color grade is insane dude!
Thanks man
