Australorps and speckled sussex available in NYC area?

[gmstan]

hi.
I'm in Brooklyn and looking for a source for sexed Australorp and speckled sussex day old chicks. Didn't find anything in the BYC breeder directory and the two local sources I've found are pretty much just large operations that buy and get shipments from unknown sources around the area. I'd prefer to buy from someone who I can meet and talk to about the birds they are raising. Happy to drive a couple hours to get them (NJ, PA, CT, NY).

Thank you!

Check out the NPIP website by state:

They use stock codes. Stock codes are listed in the above link, left side. But, here they are for the breeds you were interested in.

Hopefully you can find someone to drive to.

I have one each of those breeds, such sweet ladies...

Thanks for the lead. I've been all over the internet looking for chick sources and hadn't heard about that one, so thanks!
