1. How long have you been owning sapphire gems for?
I got my Sapphire Gems from TSC April 27, 2024. They were actually a mess up. I sent my husband for Starlight Green eggers and he came home with them. Lol

2. What would you rate them on a scale through 1-10 and why?
10 for sure, out of all the different breeds I have they are the sweetest and calmest of them all and love attention from people.

3. What's your favorite "trait" of your sapphire gem(s)? (e.g. their egg laying, their temperament, etc.)
My favorite trait would be their temperament of the hens. I don't have a rooster of the breed so I'm not sure how they behave. My daughter usually always has one or two of them she's carrying around the yard all the time. They absolutely love her.

4. What do you keep them for? Dual-purpose? Eggs? Meat? Pets? For pets and eggs?
I keep them for eggs and pets.

5. Would you recommend this breed to other chicken keepers?
Yes, I would definitely recommend them to others.

6. How many sapphire gems do you have?
I have 4 pullets

7. Would you consider getting more in the future? Why or why not?
Yes. I would definitely own more in the future. They are the best girls.

Some pictures of my girls

Your girls are beautiful!! Luckily your husband had the right instinct to pick the dark chicks and NOT the light chicks..Or else he would have came home with roosters! But personally I am so glad that I knew little about sapphire gems at the time that I got SGs and I didn't know that they were sexlinked or else I wouldn't have brought home my SG Ledo. He is the sweetest boy ever! He loves cuddles. You take good pics! Have you considered entering some in the Picture of The Week contest before?

I got mine at TSC, but they also sell them online everywhere. I think rural king also has them?? Make sure you get the dark chicks with dark legs if you want females!! The males have yellow legs and they have a spot on their heads. You still won't regret it if you get a roo because they are THE SWEETEST.

I checked the 5 pullets I got from TSC. They all have dark legs. No yellow on any of them so I must have really gotten all pullets. That's ok as I don't need to be hatching any more of anything right now. I have a RIR rooster I can breed them to if I take a notion too. Then again I may get a few FBCM chicks come spring and might get a SG roo then.

Do any of them have a white dot on their heads?
