Do you have an established flock? What breed are you trying to get? Some of the TSC's do monthly swap meets. You might want to get with someone local, since most hens are going through, or have just gone through molt, and daylight hours are changing, so less eggs to hatch.

yes i have a flock of 10 and im looking for buff orpingtons

I personally would wait until more towards spring, when hens have resumed laying. Again, if there is someone locally that raises them, that would be a better bet this time of year.

do you know the web site to go to to look and maybe order

Go to a thread for the state you are in, and check there. You may find someone in your area, or places where they do farm swap meets.

I think when you order from TSC online there is a minimum order of 10.

Chicks have a tendency to freeze to death if shipped in the winter. You can find members on this site who live within driving distance to you who may have some birds for sale. And as always, once purchased, follow proper quarantine protocol to protect your existing flock. Good luck!

You can try ordering day old chicks as well. I'm not sure who is still hatching this late for chickens, it might be worth a try looking.
