    Sapphire Gem offspring.

    I know they're a hybrid between 2 different breeds and their offspring probably won't look like them. Does anyone know what sapphire gems make? I've got 12 eggs on day 18 in the incubator from my flock of 6 hens and 1 roo saph gems. https://dejejvistas.lv/en/portfolio/dominant-blue-d-107/ I'm...

    Sapphire Gem
