Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has ambitions of getting into the poultry business. The two-time Pro Bowler has purchased 38 chickens to raise on his eight-acre property near Dallas as he begins what he hopes will one day be a major poultry operation.

He is naming the venture Miller Farms.

Miller attended Texas A&M, where he studied poultry science. While there, he learned about both the scientific and business sides of the industry, USA Today reported.

"I really wanted to get to the fundamentals, getting back to raising chicks," Miller said. "I raised chicks in college in class and stuff. Now it's a project for me to do it on my own, and see where I go with it. I'm pretty excited about it."
