    Bad eggs

    Hello, Not sure which hen laid this egg, but I'd like to figure what may have caused this so i can prevent all my hens laying these. I read the article about eggs, and now I'm worried about everything we do or don't do for them :hit Husband thinks this may be from our smallest Sapphire Gem...

    Sapphire gen rooster to barred rock hen

    Has anyone had chicks out of a sapphire gem rooster to barred rock hen? Anyone who has more knowledge than I do know what colors I should expect? I’m expecting a decent egg production am I right in thinking that? I have an American game hen currently sitting on a clutch of her own eggs and also...

    Please help injured chick got swollen again😭

    I’ve been using neosporin without pain reliever, and spraying BANNIXX for CHIXX all around her neck. She tries to get the neosporin off, probably swallows some, BUT … I’m concerned that she had a swollen side last week, I posted and asked about it, I’m brand new to raising chickens, and adult...

    They are in the Shoop!

    Chickies have spent their first night in the shoop! 🤗 We've given them some grass and dandelion leaves, and they love them! I was thrilled to not see 💩 in the water or food! They are so very happy - and so is Mama :love

    2 sapphire gems, roo or pullet?

    At the moment, I have 2 sapphire gems. I was told they were both pullets, but one has far less feathers, but are supposed to be the same age. Also stand more like a roo a lot of the time. The both are lacking on the tail bit, but they are 3 weeks old now. Even if one is a roo, I'm keeping him as...

    Are we ladies?

    Hello, bought all as pullets. I am suspicion of a few though. A few of them have stand offs but I haven’t seen anyone actually be mean, we’ve heard zero crowing and only a buff makes different noises than the rest of them but she sounds like a momma chicken. I’m also new, I did do research on...

    When will my chicken lay?

    I'm new to raising baby chicks, we've only ever bought laying hens in the past! We have leghorn chickens who started laying at 19 weeks old. We have since added 6 sapphire gem chicks to the group (25 cents a piece at rural king .. I couldn't pass up a good deal 🤣) they are 8 weeks old. Those of...

    16-week Sapphire Gem Rooster Needs a New Home (Conesus, NY)

    Looking for a great rooster, well, look no further. Hand raised from a day-old chick, Celeste now known as Comet, needs a new home. Great around adults (no idea how he would behave around children, cats or dogs). Reach out with any questions or to arrange a meet and greet.

    (Mislabeled?) Chicken from TSC

    A friend brought her to me, and as I understand it, she was labeled as a jersey giant. She’s not very big though so I’m having doubts.

    Sapphire Gem Cockerel

    Born 4/7/24 and I cannot have anymore. I can have him for another 2 weeks while he still needs additional heat, but that is it. Located in Smithsburg, MD. Can pick up or somewhere if it isn't too far away.

    New to the BYC Crew

    Hello, I just recently placed my order for my first flock of chickens and figured it would be a great time to join! I have ordered 5 Sapphire Gem, 5 Starlight Green Eggers, and 5 Speckled Sussex so 15 in total that will be here by the end of February! I know 15 is a lot for a first timer...
