Anyone have golden phoenix chickens? Where should I go?

I originally found golden phoenix birds on Meyer Hatchery's website. They were sold out when I discovered them but I loved the rooster's appearance. I wanted to get a few but I went to their website today and noticed they no longer have the breed even listed. I found another website that sells them for $4/each.. maybe a little higher than normal but I'm only buying a few. It has a minimum breed order of 5 and offers straight run only. I am a little reluctant and was hoping to find alternatives. Other websites I've found will only ship a minimum of 15 chicks and I just can't take that many right now.

So if you do have any I'd love to hear where you got them from. Thanks.

P.S. bantam would be a HUGE plus. I would like more roosters but am afraid a new LF rooster would fight with my current.

If you like the way they look, buy from a breeder - your hatchery chicks could be nice, or could look nothing like you expect. Check out the Phoenix thread - lots of breeders there and you may be able to find yourself some nice ones.
