Looking for breeders in W. PA

Looking for breeders/hatcheries local to Pittsburgh, PA.

I'm really interested in getting Appenzeller Spitzhauben!

I'd like hens only (prefer pullets or younger) for a backyard flock.

Any info would be helpful, thanks!

I know jody has silkies, and i think ameracaunas. her username is hinkjc.

I'm in the same boat, wanting just a few similar chicks and looked at hinkjc's website and it's quite impressive but I think that they are located in eastern PA.

After some confusion was cleared up for me in another post , my list has changed a bit. I'm looking for local breeders/hatcheries with the following breeds:

Appenzeller Spitzhauben
Ameraucana/ Araucana/ EE
Faverolles
Wyandottes
Other cold hardy rare/unique breeds

Turns out Silkies don't have the "wing-power" to get into my coop.

I have a pair of ameraucanas. I plan on hatching their eggs in the spring. I will keep you in mind. I live in Washington County.

It looks like it might be easier to buy eggs & hatch 'em. Problem is, what to do with the practically inevitable roosters? Don't want roosters, don't wanna eat the roosters, can you actually sell/trade/give away roosters? Where do all the unwanted roo's go?

Yes, please keep me in mind, palabeco. I would like to pick up 2 or 3 chicks/pullets and the spring suits me just fine.

With a few more hens, it probably wouldn't even matter if one was a roo, since I don't have one currently with my 5 hens.

I was sold Ameracaunas, but come to find out the color is wrong.

They lay blue eggs and have slate colored legs. But there coloring is not recognized. I also have a trio of Spitz. 2 roos and 1 hen. The roos just started crowing. She is not laying yet. If you are interested in (Ameracauna) eggs I can ship you some. PM me for prices and how many you want. I can put you on a waiting list for the Spitz if you are interested!

I live in northern Ohio. So I am not too far from you. I can even hatch them out for you and you could come pick them up. Just PM me and let me know.

My unwanted roos go to the farm auction. They probably ended up in the stew pot, But thats ok with me, I don't like stewed chicken.
