Some groups allow scammers. The ones I'm in don't.

I'd look for those posting chicks, and they should have their location. If they don't, I look to see if someone asked them for it and they replied. If not, I ignore. Legit ones tell you generally where they live. I message them or they message me. If they want to be paid Friends and Family on PayPal, that's probably a scam, skip it. Don't pay until you go there to pick them up. If they want a deposit to hold them, and it's a small amt., then that's your decision, but no more than that until you pick them up.

Ones that refer you to someone's account that they have bought chicks from and were so happy and they use a bunch of emotions, that's a scam.

I'm a few hours north of you so don't know anyone closer. Facebook or Google are my choices for finding breeders nearby. Good luck!

Welcome to BYC!

I did a quick google search and found a hatchery that has started pullets that you can pickup in IL. https://chickenscratchpoultry.com/collections/started-pullets-young-hens

And I have found that there are a good amount of non show quality hens (that ARE real and not scammers). Here is a northern IL chicken swap group. As long as you can go do pickup and you talk to the seller and make sure that they are trustworthy (lots of pics of bird, good information, real information, let you go to the farm for pickup, ETC.) then it should be good!
