Will anyone have these available for the Augusta show on April 28th?

Vaccinated pullets at or near ready-to-lay age. (And prices? Need to know how much cash to set aside)
1-2 Buff Orpingtons
2 Eggers - at least one that will lay blue eggs. One blue, one olive would be nice!
Barred Rocks, Australorps, Sussex, Comets, sex links... - Anything docile and easy to tell apart that is a good meat/egg cross. (Eggs especially, will be at least a year before we get into meat) I'm assuming anything local would be cold hardy already.
Looking for a total of 6-10, depending on prices. May be interested in younger hens that are already laying in any of the above breeds, so long as they're vaxed.

I thought about it, but our coop won't be ready until the end of the month. It's actually being delivered Saturday morning, so even if it were bird ready I wouldn't make it up that way. Hoping I can get everything converted soon enough to be bird ready for the next Augusta one.

Probably a stupid question but: What is "vaxed"?
