    4 - 5 Month Old Pullets For Sale Or Trade

    I am looking to rehome some pullets. I have 7 Sapphire Gems that are not quite 4 months old and 5 unknown chickens (possibly Easter Eggers) that are 4 - 5 months old. None have started laying yet. I would prefer to trade for laying hens, so that I don't have to wait another 6 months to start...

    Is the hen squat a reliable indicator of egg laying?

    I have 6 chickens that are all 18 weeks, and got my first egg yesterday. The egg is kind of an off white-ish color. I have 2 prairie bluebells, so I think it might be from one of them? The only hen that is doing the quintessential mating squat is a sapphire gem though. I know that sapphie’s lay...

    what gender & breed is this?

    so we have this almost 10 week old chicken and I’m struggling to find out if it’s a cockerel or pullet and also what breed? i did think it could be a sapphire gem but I don’t know. (Also I hope I used the words right but I assume pullet means girl chicken and cockerel is boy chicken I’m new to...

    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?

    Sapphire gem pullet or cockerel?

    Was sold to me as a pullet, we thought they were just a runt. Tail fathers came out in 2s instead of giant clumps. Doesn’t seem interested in the pecking order. Now I think I see some hints of barring…? They’re 5.5 weeks old. My last flock was all BO’s, so I don’t have any experience with...

    Sexing my Sapphire Gem chicks

    I'd like some help sexing these chicks, I've been stressing about this for 2 weeks with varying information on how to sex them. I got these chicks from someone in my county, not a store or hatchery. Said they were Sapphire Gems, they definitely look like them, so I'm not questioning the breed...

    Something Crazy With My Hen’s Vent

    Hello, so I really don’t know what else to do at this point. My Sapphire Gem Hen has been isolated for a few days from the flock because her vent was bloody a few days ago and I thought she had been pecked because another hen was pecked by my brother’s Muscovy Duck, but it wasn’t that. It had to...

    Sapphire Gem mixed with Barred Rock?

    I bought Speedwagon as a chick from the Atwood’s and he was labeled as a sapphire gem but I think he’s mixed with barred rock. Or maybe a different breed entirely? He’s about two feet tall. Very large. Thoughts and opinions? Sorry for the lack of pictures, he’s very shy, but he’s the big grey...
