Hi, I would watch the message boards here & then check Craigslist in your area or the areas as far as you're willing to travel. It's also a good idea to go to your local feed store & check out the bulletin boards & you also watch to check out the poultry shows or see if theres any in your area. You could check some of the hatcheries too & they might have some older pullets too. I'm in NJ and I know it's already chilly at night here it might be a bit too chilly already to be starting little chicks but I'm not really expereinced to know that. I do know I just put out some Buff Orpingtons into a coop that are about 6 wks old and while they do have a nice looking amount of feathers I still worry a bit that it's a bit chilly for them. Of course that's my "motherhen worrying side speaking" LOL Buff Orpingtons they're the *sweetest things I've ever seen! Then don't have a peeking at anyone bone in their little bodies and they're SO personable! They're suppose to be winter hardy, & lay into the winter. And honestly when I first started to see them feather I wasn't sure I was going to like them but now they are just so feathery soft & will just let you go right ahead & pet them! Ok enough sorry didn't mean to promote but thought I should pass along my approval of this breed. They're just lovely...
