Where can I find silkies for sale in Connecticut? Chicks or adults

I am looking to buy a couple of silkie chickens to add to our little flock, and am having trouble finding them in CT. I don't want to order online, I'd like to pick up if possible. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I would like to find breeders in CT, too.  We are in eastern Connecticut, and I DON'T want to ship.  We're looking for pullets.
I don't know if there are too many professional breeders in CT, I may do a Google search, but I think most breeders here are smaller outfits.

By straight run do you mean mixed sex? I can only take hens as I'm in the suburbs.

Straight run is just that - they are not separated by sex.
can be girls, can be boys.  Unless you know how to sex them, you won't know until they grow up.
I too wish there was someone in CT to get silkies from.  But just when I think all is good and I can actually have some $$ to be serious - bam something happens.  First it was my sons braces - now its my taxes.  (I was on extension).  sigh.  Someday I'll have extra $$.
