Von Miller realizing chicken farming dreams

Von Miller is finally a chicken farmer.

The Denver Broncos linebacker, who studied poultry science at Texas A&M and has multiple chicken tattoos, joined ESPN's "Mike & Mike" on Thursday to discuss - among other things - the status of his chicken farm. The operation is coming along swimmingly.

"My operation is really intimate," Miller said, per Alysha Tsuji of USA TODAY Sports. "I was waiting on the Broncos to give me a little bit more money where I could go commercial but right now it's intimate. I only have 20 to 35 birds. They're not really for eating. They're more like pets. Those are my guys."

Miller said he wants to keep his farm on the smaller side, and plans to have live feeds for the chickens.

"It's gonna be something that I'm definitely gonna be involved with. It's not gonna be like all these other big corporations," he said. "The healthcare for my birds is gonna be like any other company. The life of my birds is gonna be great. I'm gonna have a live feed in the cages so you can see how the birds are living."

For those questioning the legitimacy of Miller's chicken farm, Miami Dolphins defensive end Damontre Moore provided this testimonial in a piece for the Players' Tribune:

"The Super Bowl MVP has a real chicken farm. A legitimate farm. That he maintains himself. He's even got roosters. If you go down to DeSoto, Texas, you can stop by Von's farm and get yourself a dozen organic eggs. This is real."
