Where are you at? Sometimes you can check craigslist and they will chickens you can get. We are going to order a bunch of chicks and sell them when they are feathered out. Lot's of people don't have time to do the brooding of new chick's. So we thought we'd do that. That's how we got our girls.

I have to imagine any started pullet from a hatchery will be debeaked. They're debeaked because they're raised in close contact with the other started pullets. It's for their protection. If that is a problem for you then you need to purchase from someone locally. It will be less expensive but quarantine them so they don't bring anything into your existing flock.

I agree with serendipity. Most hatcheries that sell starter pullets will be debeaked. To me that's cruel. They can't peck and grab bugs and other food off the ground. You would have to ensure a bowl for whatever food they eat.

The Feathersite has a very comprehensive listing:

Shipping on POL pullets is brutal. If you can find anything within driving distance, you will spend far less in gas then you will in shipping. So if you can pick them up, do so!

Check craigslists as well. Sometimes people are moving and have to get rid of hens in lay qiuckly.
