Sapphire Gem gender guesses…

[NewYorkMama]

These chicks are about 5-6 weeks old now. I selected two that are the most similar looking in feathering. They’re supposedly Sapphire Gems.

If they are Sapphire Gems, they're both pullets, but that's an awfully red comb for one... SGs do tend to comb up early though.

Thanks! So not thinking one boy, one girl?

Sapphire Gems are sex-linked, so females are solid blue and males are barred. So if yours are that breed, they’re both females.

Do you think this is a sapphire gem? Hen?

It could very well be a sapphire gem, and she's definitely a pullet.
