from sources like

Going to the shows [ if that is the sort of birds you like ] or just getting
hold of a catalogue
Contacting breed clubs
Joining breed clubs
Yahoo lists, email list for your breeds - there is a darkegglayers list etc
Local feed stores and vets
American POultry ASsociation
http://www.nehbc.org/directory.html
American Livestock Breeds Conservancy
Going to auctions - looking at the birds / eggs you like and contacting the
breeders afterwards from the catalogue
Your agricultural extension folks
For really productive birds - contact your ag extension folks again for
folks who will let you have a few of the commercial birds from their nxt
batch

I am sure others can add more ideas
