What is a sapphire gem?

[Thomas Lamprogiorgos]

Splash doesn't cause gold leakage. Splash actually doesn't effort or hide gold at all.

Help me with my utility black leghorns breeding purposes.

Also known as the Sapphire Blue Plymouth Rock or Blue Plymouth Rock, the Sapphire Gem is all the rage for novelty and specialty chicken fanciers. Scouring the internet for information on this rare variety will most likely lead you down a dead-end road or to the local jewelers’ websites. There is conflicting information on this variety of chicken, but one thing everyone seems to agree on is that this bird is a new favorite.

The Sapphire Gem is not an actual breed of chicken, and not recognized by the APA. Most hatcheries that sell this little gem are vague in their descriptions, and that’s probably because it’s a new variety of chicken. In fact, this chick can only be purchased from a handful of hatcheries, and it even appears as though one hatchery has the name Sapphire Gem trademarked.

Oh my God, sapphire gem is a hybrid. It is actually dominant blue d 107. It is a heavy version of a hy-line brown type hybrid. But, blue SL and not red SL. It produces better than other hybrids in poor feeding and low density rations and it utilizes much better the free range. Understand it. I am very experienced in the field of layer companies.

Does seem to be very popular. Especially considering they must be really new.

I found them at TSC and where they get them from Hoover Hatchery. Not to high a price for rare chickens

They are not a rare breed, but a laying hybrid.

Beautiful birds. When you call them blue sex links: do you mean these are The Sapphire gems or did you manage to breed blue sex links yourself from other breeds?

 

[member 158781]

Dear, I know they do not breed true because I have bred them myself. That is what I have been saying and why you can not necessarily base it on color when sexing.

Love this information. Thank you so much.

Mr. Thomas Lampo(something)can't remember), I have 4 Sapphire Gems from Hoover also and they matured into a cockeral barring and all, and the 3 pullets were two dark chicks and one light chick. The light pullet chick had the spot on the head, I also fell for the ole',"It's a SAPPHIRE GEM OLIVE EGGER. Uhm, no. These pullets lay dark brown eggs, not one has been pinkish brown. They started trying to lay at 13 weeks, I couldn't believe it. They are laying machines, very prolific at it. Two look like a cross between a Cream Legbar and a Blue Maran., with copper neck feathers. The other?. The so called SGOE has a big floppy comb and they all have what my husband calls a mohawk of feathers on top of head.

So hatcheries in the states only care about selling and it seems Hoover is trying to make their own hybrid for egg laying and took the name Sapphire Gem. I don't care one way or another who their daddy is, I just like the eggs. I've been getting double yolk eggs from them too.
