I think so, especially if it is your first time hatching or raising chicks. Just because you can possibly do something doesn't mean it's a good idea. To be transparent, when I was in Arkansas (probably not that different to your climate) I'd hatch in February from my own eggs so I did not run out of chicken meat in the freezer in the summer. And I'd brood the chicks in my brooder in the coop even when it was below freezing. It's from experience that I suggest you wait for your first time.
As far as getting eggs, I suggest you try two different things. Talk to your county extension agent. They are usually involved with 4-H and county fairs. There is a pretty good chance they know somebody in the county or nearby that has hatching eggs. It won't hurt to ask.
I also suggest you find the Virginia chat thread in the "Where am I? Where are you!" section of this forum and chat with your neighbors. There is a fairly good chance someone in driving distance will have hatching eggs.
If you do find eggs nearby don't make the mistake I did. Cushion them very well on the drive home. I picked up 30 eggs from a breeder and set them on the floorboard of the back on the way home. They were shaken up so badly that only 10 hatched. If I had just set them on the back seat instead of on the floor I'm sure many more would have hatched.
