On a scale of 1-5, how common is it to find these breeds (listed below) on average for sale?

Plymouth rocks, Wyandottes, Black sex links/Black stars, Ameraucanas/Easter eggers, Orpingtons, Welsummers and Barnevelders, Silkies and Polish.

Assuming that 5 is the easiest to find and 1 is the hardest to find, I would rate it as follows:

Pymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Easter Eggers, and Orpingtons = 5 (every hatchery of any size sells all of these breeds)

Black Sex Links (Black Star is a label under which some hatcheries market their Black Sex Links) = 4 (most major hatcheries sell BSLs)

Welsummers = 3 (a number of major hatcheries sell them)

Barnevelders = 2 (some major hatcheries sell them)

Ameraucanas (the true breed as opposed to the EEs) = 1 (Meyer is the only hatchery I am aware of that sells them; otherwise they have to be purchased from a breeder)

Plymouth rocks, Wyandottes, Black sex links/Black stars, Ameraucanas/Easter eggers, Orpingtons, Welsummers and Barnevelders, Silkies and Polish.

4,2,5,4,2,3,1,3,2 This would be for local chick sales (feed stores and CL).

Hatcheries have them all but Barnies are rare IMO.
