    So any eggs yet? I love my sapphire gem. I was didsapointed in my sapphire olive egger cause she laid normal brown eggs.

    The sapphire olive egger never squated and she laid insanely early. I want to say something like 14 weeks. I had a normal sapphire gem who laid early but not that early and she squated. The soahire gem was the one who was friendly like a rooster and was really big really quick.

    Yes it was a hen and she layed her first egg really early. Her daughter is just like her. Very friendly at a young age which makes you think rooster and developed quick.

    Yep that seems to make sense that the females just develop quicker.

    I had one that noticeably got feathers early then the other four and she was the only girl. In my current batch two have you ably gotten feathers quicker out of 8 so I’m super curious what will happen with this batch. I hope others are right that you can’t tell by feathers but based on my first...

    Thanks that’s so helpful. I got more eggs shipped so we will see. I do have a back up plan though my colourful egg layers will go with her if I don’t get more hens.

    Blue mottled orpingtons

    I would like blue mottled chicks. They were shipped eggs and only one hen. The rest were roosters. So it will be a slow process. I’m sure the hens is blue mottled so I’m guessing my best chance is keeping the blue mottled rooster then. All the roosters are so nice. I’m very impressed with this...

    Blue mottled orpingtons

    I hatched eggs from blue littles orpingtons and am trying to decide which roosters to keep. Only one is blue mottled the other roosters seem to be splash. The breeder said they are splash mottled. So my question is would you keep one of the splash mottled roosters too or instead. If so which one?

    That’s kinda what I was thinking too but have never really analyzed the feathers before. Shipped eggs so hopefully some hens. My last batch was only one hen.

    Bantam Cochin gender

    That’s what I figured but I was being told by other people that Cochins are one of those breeds so was curious.

    So I was told you can tell gender of Cochins based on wing feather. Not sure it’s actually true but I’m curious. I have pictures of my 7 bantam Cochins attached. Curious what everyone thinks and if you can actually tell gender by wing feathering.

    Blue mottled orpingtons

    Now I’m curious but I hope not cause then I do have 1 hen and three roosters. But I guess one hen is better then non.
