Other than a hatchery, no. My son went into Arkansas last we and bought 30 standard RIR eggs. He said that place had about 30 different bantam breeds of chickens.

That 's Great, michaelf: I take it they're adults, or close to it? Once you get them comfortable, can you post some pics?

Beautiful Chicks you have there, michael. The Bantam RIR's are my favorite. Looks like you've got a cockerel and two pullets. I'm really happy for you, and I know you are over joyed. Keep us updated.
