My employer is the University of Texas System, it's required of all faculty. It's part of the annual review process and they're in the data system - it's a SACS accreditation requirement. Yeah, that's what I was curious about. I'm interested in a breeder in San Antonio (Texas Skyz, http://www.txskyz.com), they are near me and have nice looking Nigerian Dwarfs (there are another couple breeders around as well, but that's the one I keep haunting). They have polled kids available sometimes. Most of their updated availability is on Facebook, but you can see the listings. I was thinking polled would be easier, and just make sure buck is not polled (I don't plan on keeping a buck myself.) Mostly I'm window shopping. Is it just me, or are both these sexy fellas coming on to me through the internet?! That's got to be the funniest thing I've read in ages.... Go, Dan, go!!!!! Hey! Good to see you here! @Yemimah - I tried EVERYTHING - all sorts of feeders, fermented feed (which didn't work out for me), infuriating. The only thing that has worked for me (works like a charm) is to hang a feeder from a bar across the top of the brooder from a chain, and when they're tiny, let it rest on the floor, then incrementally raise it link by link to keep the lip around the level of the top of their backs. This is also what I do with my adult birds. I looked around and found a photo of some of my Naked Neck chicks sunbathing and you can see their feed in the foreground. They are big here (4 weeks old, and quite large), and the feeder is appropriately high. The thing it, you have to have the feeder at the level of the back of the SMALLEST chick (to make sure s/he can reach to eat). Awwwww. I wanna reach through the computer and hug them. - Ant Farm

So quiet tonight!!!!!
