Sapphire gem chicks roosters or pullets

Ok guys so these two sapphires are about 2-3 weeks old so can you tell me if there roosters or is the light grey "lavander" one a pullet?

They are still quite young... please repost pics when they are 6-8 weeks old.

Alrighty thanks dottie I will when they get six weeks old but what about my ameraucana barred rock cross charile is 6 weeks old

Are you certain they are Sapphire Gems?

If so, Sapphire Gems are a sex-link hybrid and males will have barring while females will not. Both appear to have barring.

That's what they was labeled as at my local tractor supply store as

Male sapphire gems will have a lighter colored spot on the head, can be quite irregular in shape. Females do not. They are sex linked. I think I see a spot on the second one. First one does appear to be barred. I am afraid you got two boys there.
Look closely at their wings, if barred then male. Also look at top of head for a spot on both of them.

Charlie's comb has some bright red... may very well be a boy. Repost pics in a week or two, or maybe others will chime in with their opinions.

Ok guys just got an email back from hoover hatchery and they just said that jasper is a male and sapphire is a hen. So I just replied back to them and sent a pic of sapphire and ask to make sure "she" is a hen where she has light barring or is it lacing so hopefully they'll get back too me. Ok update they said that sapphire was a hen so ill be posting pics when there fully feathered and maybe my other popcorn chicken gang too
