You'll still need to get them from a local breeder or order them from a hatchery. They're not that common... at least from where I'm from. Good luck with your search. I've gotten hatchery birds 2 years in a row, (this year only b/c I needed to use a credit from last year's hatchery mess up) Both times, I found them to be very delicate compared to other breeds. I'm hoping and guessing that breeder stock is much more robust. I can tell you from my limited experience (raised 3 roos last spring) that this breed is wonderful to work with: they forage well, are not aggressive, and I love the rose combs and barred pattern. An added bonus is that the chicks are easy to sex at hatch, and if you place a solid colored roo over a Dom hen, you'll get sex linked chicks. What's not to like???????? I've been advocating for this breed in my state, and finally, this year several folks are bringing in flocks, one from breeder eggs, and an other from (I think) a hatchery. Hopefully, from this meager beginning in the state of Maine, we'll get a good population of strong Doms going.
