I got my chicks from Agway and they sell them sexed. There's an Agway in Danvers and an Agway in Waltham. There may be more...I'm not sure. Also, all the local fairs sell them in the fall (Tospfield Fair..etc)

There's an Agway in Chelmsford too, and I heard they had chicks in. LF breeds come sexed, bantams do not.I got my chicks from Agway and they sell them sexed.

FInding started birds are the most difficult to find. Be patient. Look for the shows and start establishing contacts. THey are out there!!Hi, I am in Billerica, Mass. We just got our first hens last month when they were about 8 weeks old, now they are 12 weeks. Originally we wanted Silkies, preferably sexed since we cannot have roosters in our town, and Americaunas but could not find them around here. We ended up with a Delaware, a Buff Orpington and a Black Star. I think they are good breeds and I am enjoying getting to know their personalities and gaining their trust. I would still love to get Silkies in the future so I am planning on setting up another coop/run for them. It's hard to find someone reputable that has them around 6-8 weeks or older but maybe in a year or two I will have better luck. I guess I will just have to take my chances and hope I do not end up with a rooster!
