I did the exact same research a few years ago, so I can help out a bit!
Littleman Poultry in RI sells pullets for a really good rate (especially if you pick them up) I bought a Salmon Faverolle from her this past summer. She doesn’t really do bantams, but if you’re looking for standard size chickens I’d look there. The girls are fully vaccinated which I love.
Dodge Grain (in Salem NH) and Townsend Farmers exchange both sell pullets occasionally, usually at the end of the baby season. I know a lady in Derry NH that sells Seramas and other breeds off Craigslist (I bought my initial flock from her), but she doesn’t have a website - check Craigslist in the spring/summer and you might see her ads.
As someone stated above, you can also have them shipped. I ordered two started birds from mypetchicken and they came here just fine. I’ve also had birds shipped to me from specialty Serama breeders I met on Facebook, but you run the risk of them getting lost in the mail like mine did (luckily my birds arrived alive, but it was not a good situation).
Good luck!
(Also, if you do end up with a rooster, the guy who runs the Northeastern Avicultural Society will take them)
