saphire gem

So once again I feel like I have been duped by the hatchery that Rural King uses! These are my "teenagers" that are about 3 months old (born in April) I picked out and bought 4 Cuckoo Marans, 2 Sapphire Gems and 2 Easter Eggers. One of the EE died after a week so that is why I only have 1 now...

Wondering on my breeds if any of you have these kinds around what age they layed their first eggs? Mine should be any day and I’m so excited it’s like waiting for Christmas morning. I have almost 16 week olds! Breeds: buff brahmas (I know they are later layers) Easter eggers Sapphire gem...

I got this beautiful bird from someone who wasn't sure if it was either a sapphire gem or sapphire olive egger can you tell from these pictures or do I need to wait til it's older (and lays an egg)? Her name is Bella!
