Any Bantam Australorp breeders in/near New England?

[Psyduck Girl]

This may be an unusual request (but knowing other chicken people... maybe not?), but I'm looking for a young bantam Australorp pullet after losing my beloved "garden therapy" chicken last year. She was a real one, but I've read that the Australorp temperament is pretty similar to hers and they always want to get up in your business lol, so they sound like the perfect yard work companion while the rest of my chickens are off doing their own thing.

Only caveat is that I really want the bantam variety - I always get bantams for pet chickens since they eat less, their poo is smaller and they're easier to carry around. But so far I can only find 2 breeders in the entire United States, and neither of them are close by.

A little birdie told me to post here and ask if anyone has (or knows someone with) bantam Australorps in or near New England. Any info or leads you have would be much appreciated!

Thank you for the resource! Unfortunately I already used the search feature that covers the whole board, and no one ever mentioned bantam Australorps until this thread. If you search on Google, even this thread already comes up on the first page of the results lol. Guess I'm not holding out much hope on this one :\
