New England Breeders

[theycallmetheturkey]

New member here... 2 questions for your expertise!

Looking to add 6-8 chicks to my 2 yr old backyard flock of Brahams & Australorps (both awesome breeds - they all get along GREAT!)

Wondering if anyone knows of farm/breeders in New England who will sell female day old chicks. MA, RI, CT, NH, VT ME.

(I'd love to have a rooster for nature's sake, but it is not allowed in my town).

I'm looking for Salmon Favarolles, Ameraucanas, Orpingtons, Wyandottes, RIR, C - no silkies or bantams - I like the heavier birds - we live on the ocean with very cold freezing winters. And, I like to chat and garden with girls - I don't want any nervous (or aggressive) nellies ruining the party.

I'd love to avoid sending chicks thru the mail if possible.

I live north of Boston and I'm willing to drive a few hours for pick up.

Also, would love to hear what breeds everyone would recommend to add to my flock for neighborhood-CSA egg sales. I'm trying to build a "market garden" on my 1/2 acre and would love to include fancy eggs...

Thanks for the input!
