I think the Murray McMurray hatchery had them at one time. May still. They're beautiful birds. Good luck!
I'm joining a gang and getting a tattoo. Ok... I'm joining the Elks lodge. It's like a gang. And I was kidding about the tattoo.

I used to work in a zoo where we had several of them. They are very beautiful, but have to say rather boring.  They mostly like to just stand about doing nothing.  

 

Also you could not keep them with chickens.  They would catch diseases off the hens and also be very stressed will all the activity going on around them.  They are territorial and need to be the only 'ground bird' in the enclosure. 

 

They can not be kept outdoors without access to a heated and lighted large indoor aviary in winter.
