    2 sapphire gems, roo or pullet?

    At the moment, I have 2 sapphire gems. I was told they were both pullets, but one has far less feathers, but are supposed to be the same age. Also stand more like a roo a lot of the time. The both are lacking on the tail bit, but they are 3 weeks old now. Even if one is a roo, I'm keeping him as...

    Are we ladies?

    Hello, bought all as pullets. I am suspicion of a few though. A few of them have stand offs but I haven’t seen anyone actually be mean, we’ve heard zero crowing and only a buff makes different noises than the rest of them but she sounds like a momma chicken. I’m also new, I did do research on...

    When will my chicken lay?

    I'm new to raising baby chicks, we've only ever bought laying hens in the past! We have leghorn chickens who started laying at 19 weeks old. We have since added 6 sapphire gem chicks to the group (25 cents a piece at rural king .. I couldn't pass up a good deal 🤣) they are 8 weeks old. Those of...

    16-week Sapphire Gem Rooster Needs a New Home (Conesus, NY)

    Looking for a great rooster, well, look no further. Hand raised from a day-old chick, Celeste now known as Comet, needs a new home. Great around adults (no idea how he would behave around children, cats or dogs). Reach out with any questions or to arrange a meet and greet.

    (Mislabeled?) Chicken from TSC

    A friend brought her to me, and as I understand it, she was labeled as a jersey giant. She’s not very big though so I’m having doubts.

    Sapphire Gem Cockerel

    Born 4/7/24 and I cannot have anymore. I can have him for another 2 weeks while he still needs additional heat, but that is it. Located in Smithsburg, MD. Can pick up or somewhere if it isn't too far away.

  16. Sapphire Gems and Salmon Faverolles 8/15/23 Purchased @ TSC 7/14/23.

    Sapphire Gems and Salmon Faverolles 8/15/23 Purchased @ TSC 7/14/23.

    Top two are Salmon Faverolles (left: pullet; right: cockerel). Middle right is Faverolle cockerel, rest are Sapphire Gem pullets. Taken when they were 4-5 weeks old. Though Faverolle pullet seems to be 1-2 weeks older than the rest. Purchased at the same time. She grew much quicker than the others.

    Sapphire Gem Pullets 4 weeks old

    All of our dark ones have lost their white feathers under-chin and any white around their eyes. Some have "gray" coloration, some are rosy, some are a gray/rosy. This is just one of our darker Sapphire Gems. The light one in background is still light gray. Black specs are now in her feathers.
