One of their members is Harvey Ussery, who has his own web site with a wealth of info (http://www.themodernhomestead.us). Harvey recommends Murray McMurray Hatchery (http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com). Let us know how it goes!

I was thinking of using the NH Reds. If you find a good source, please let me know.
