    I'm not an expert in chicken genetics.... but how did I get such different varieties??

    To tie up the thread I began... The white chick is a pullet and an American Bresse mix with sapphire sky. She's the biggest. Our friend laughed, she didn't know her bresse roo had the chance. The blue chick with gold leakage is indeed a cockerel and sapphire sky cross with brown leghorn. He was...

    What color eggs will these isbar cross chicks produce?

    In my very limited knowledge since I'm just learning the olive egger genetics I think they'd end up being EE for the most part.

    New to chickens! Sapphire Gem- Hen or Roo?

    I have Sapphire Sky Olive Eggers and one is a roo. They're similar looking (my Sapphire Sky roo and your chicken and about the same age) and I wish I still had pics of my Sapphire Gems as chicks but one phone and several years later (they've since passed on) I want to say pullet but my brain is...

    What gender is this 11-week old sage egger?

    Pretty sure that's a cockerel. I haven't had any EE breeds be pullets with a comb that red at 11 weeks.

    Yes, 5/14 at 3 pm (I was editing a hatch date and typed in the wrong tab) If editing disqualifies me it's all good it was my own fault. 🤣

    The gray one with the small yellow head dot has feathered out with buff colored leakage in it's chest/neck area and appears to be a cockerel. Our friend when I sent her a pic of the white chick said omg my american bresse must have got in and appears to be female, and the last one out has a rose...

    We didn't know about their reputation and fortunately for some reason our bank was able to stop payment before they had a chance to dispute it. No tracking number, no phone calls picked up. Very shady.

    Bra incubating

    I'm sorry it didn't work out. 😞 We do know it can be done though and sometimes mother nature has other things planned instead. 🫂

    I'd pull mine as soon as they were dry if standard sized, I let my bantams stay in a bit longer. I had a barred rock/Brahma mix hatch and that worry once she fluffed and was steady on her feet. The offender and her mother. 🤭

    13 Week Old. Roo or Hen - my husband and I have different opinions.
