    Two chicks sold as Sapphire Gem females. Barred Rock? Need some help IDing

    Well it is very interesting. And based on the other things you’ve been saying and everything I’ve been reading I realized it was the case that Hoover just “throws stuff together” sometimes. I have given up the hope that I’d have the beautiful breed I wanted. Now I’m just hoping for females. It...

    I certainly see a lot of similar crests on some olive Egger chicks online! I wonder if you’re right! Their coloring has me wondering what indeed was bred.

    Oh that one really looks barred! Mine don’t have distinct barring it’s just splats of whiteish grey. They aren’t getting any light so far. I’m frustrated I just wanna know what I got!

    Nothing to do but wait! At this point I am just really hoping for them not to be a giant breed.

    Two chicks sold as Sapphire Gem females. Barred Rock? Need some help IDing

    So pretty! Yep this is helpful. They definitely look true grey. Not charcoal/blackish like mine. I do see that one or two are darker than many pics I have seen online, but mine really look almost black. Sigh. Thank you for these!

    They are quite yellow honestly. I have a couple of Australorpes and these definitely are not them. I’ll check out some other breeds. The general store that sold them to me wasn’t even carrying JGs that day. I’d never even heard of the breed! Ugh!

    They are so dark. I just cant wrap my mind around how they could be within the breed since every single pic I have seen the chicks are soooo light and lavender like from week 1/2 on. Just going to have to wait I guess. I hope some more folks have time to weigh in but for now i am skeptical!!

    Looking closer on my laptop I will say the only difference I see is that yours have rounder more stout faces (cuter to be honest haha)

    Two chicks sold as Sapphire Gem females. Barred Rock? Need some help IDing

    Here are some more pics of their coloring in better daylight. Theyre not quite 4 weeks old. They just do not look at all like any confirmed pics of Sapphire Gems we have seen. The light isnt being funny in these pics, they are mostly dark charcoal grey almost black with some light grey or white...

    Oh wow. They sure do look like them. HOW could the hatchery mislabel these breeds 😭😭

    Oh gosh I really hope not. We have a very small back yard coop setup which we cannot expand for such a big breed!
