Welcome to BYC.

I know there are a number of small hatcheries in the Phoenix area that advertise on Craigslist... maybe you could start there?

Here's what you need to do:

Also be sure to have everything spelled correctly; it looks more professional. Use a spell-checker or use a reliable book to get proper spellings of breed names. It may take longer to do, but people will take you more seriously.

are they SQ

-Rhode Island Reds - production & exhibition
-Ameraucanas
-Black Copper Marans -coming this summer
-Bantams
-Cochins

I mean no offense; it's just a pet peeve of mine. But I think it will help as you are just getting started.
