    Gender Guessin' Time! Black Majesty Marans & Sapphire Olive Egger

    Of course, as most stories start, I went to my local TS and picked up some straight run chicks labeled 'Black Majesty Marans' (4) and 'Sapphire Olive Egger' (2). Thought it would be fun to post pictures and guess what they might turn out as. Here are pictures at about 1 week. I was trying to...

    Sapphire Olive Eggers from Hoover's Hatchery

    I'm making this thread to post information specifically about the Sapphire Olive Eggers from Hoover's Hatchery. They are a new breed for them and I can't find very much information on the anywhere. (NOT A SAPPHIRE GEM - THEY LAY BROWN EGGS) These lay olive eggs. I contacted the hatchery and...

    Sapphire Olive Egger Rooster

    I'm having zero luck finding any pictures of this particular chicken. I have 2 1/2 week old Sapphire Olive Egger chicks from Hoover Hatchery. (NOT Sapphire Gems). There is very little information on them anywhere. I really want to know what the rooster for this breed would look like as I suspect...

    Assorted Sapphire chicks...

    I'm sure many people are soon going to be buying the sex-link Sapphires (thank you egg prices). I now have 10, from Hoover's through TSC. I have fears of a few being cockrels even though I paid extra for all pullets. What do I need to show here to get help to find out what my 3 day old chicks...

    Sapphire Gem…cockerel?

    Hello! I have a 3 week old Sapphire Gem chick from Rural King and from what I understand, Sapphire Gems are sex-linked and males have a spot on the back of their head. This Gem has no spot on the back of the head…but look at the comb already coming in! Could this be a male?

    Re-home cockerel

    I have a 5 1/2 month old cockerel needing a new home (or dinner plate :) ). He is only aggressive to me. He leaves my wife alone. He is a beautiful Sapphire Blue Plymouth Rock (so I was told at TS). He is in my profile picture. I am in the upstate of SC and like to find him a new home.

    Boys are starting to be boys! What to do with these cockerels?

    Ok, so I may have gotten a little burned on a “chicken deal” for Sapphires. I told the breeder we have a farm, and think that equated “they can take a bunch of cockerels”. My “blue laying” group of 10 chicken has 7 cockerels (not going to be seeing many eggs from them, eh?) They were “about 5...

    Sapphire gem breeding

    Hello, I have a question about breeding sapphire gems, (290 eggs/year?) I know they won't breed true to the colors and I'll get a variation of blue splash and white spotted but will the egg production still be the same in the second and third Gen?
