Its very difficult to find a commercial breeder who has available chicks

Build your coop first.
Spend time predator proofing it well.
Then order chicks come to February or March.

Meyer Hatchery has really good reviews, they have Lavender Orpington which have really good reviews, would 8 of these in the heat be ok? Their coop will be open air, and shaded.

I highly recommend thinking about getting a couple of black Australorps if you want good layers.
Beware that the lavender birds don't usually look as pretty as their advertisement photos.

Welcome to BYC! Meyers is very good honest people . I have first hand knowledge of them I ordered 25 New Hampshire reds some time ago and realized it was too late in the year to have chicks in the brooder . I told them and before you could say Bobs your uncle the full amount was back in my account .
