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
Просмотров 9774 месяца назад
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.

Great job Mikel!
Omg i cried
My granny back around 1980 had white chickens we butchered and their size was small like a broiler. I got some White Rock chicks to breed as possible meatbirds. The Freedom Ranger are much larger than the rooster pen with White-Rock & New Hampshire Reds. Its possible you got NH-Reds and not Ranger chickens.. The point is, Delaware are related to the White Rock and slower growing than typical meat-birds.. One of my Freedom Ranger Hens dressed out at 6-lbs around 13 weeks, and a NH Red was only around 4 lbs or less at mature ukn age (maybe 15 weeks). I did well with the hybrid meat-birds my first time and only put down one CornishX with a clogged crop from large grit.
Aww so cute ❤️
How cool!
How did you like the Delaware chickens meat? Was it tender or tough? How did you cook it? Are you still happy with them? Thanks!
I didn’t like it as much as the Cornish Cross but it isn’t horrible. They are much more active and muscular than meat birds for sure. We usually spatchcock cook them. I bet boiling them would taste great also. I still have some in the backyard with the red rangers as egg layers right now.
@@MikelHunt thanks! Have you tried new Hampshire chicken meat? I'm trying to find a good dual chicken. I'm afraid none of them will be like a Cornish though ...too bad you can't breed and keep Cornish!
@@TacklingTheGiants I’m trying buff orphingtons But yes, I don’t think there is anything like Cornish cross
@@MikelHuntthey say the American bresse is amazing. That might be another one to add to your list to try. I personally don't know though.
Good info, was leaning towards red rangers to start a meat program and breed my own meat birds but Delaware seem even better, is a meat tractor necessary or can you let them free range and coop at night like laying birds?
That’s great! Delawares do just fine free range and in a regular coop🙂
LOVE you Marcy!!!!
Delaware 's are dual purpose not hybrid
That’s right
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.
Have you baked them(like one you would buy from a store) ? How do they taste that way?
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
