4.5 Week Old Sapphire (Super Blue Egg Layer) Cockerel or Pullet?

[QueenMisha]

No, their eggs are lighter blue than their pure breed parents. They are "super" layers comparing to their blue - egg -layer parents because of the leghorn gene. I have a two week old ameraucana x california grey pullet, which basically is the same other than she is a sexlink.

OK, that clarifies things, thanks. Yeah for some reason I assumed the "super" part referred to the shade, it makes a lot more sense that they would be talking about production levels.

Get a No-Crow collar and use on him if he is a rooster

I wasn't sure if the white leghorn in it causes the comb to develop sooner, even in pullets? I cannot have a rooster where I live, but I don't want to rehome it too soon just in case it is a pullet. I have never had a Sapphire pullet before and would love to see what the super blue eggs look like!

me to i would love to know more, i was thinking of getting a few sapphire pullets and would like to know how do you like yours..?send future pictures & info please ...!!!

This is a 4 1/2 week old Sapphire or Super Blue Egg Layer (if it's a pullet). Father is a Cream Legbar and Mother is a White Leghorn. Is this a cockerel or pullet?

Also, if it is a cockerel and it is bred with a dark egg layer will the result be an olive egger?

I have the same cross CCLB roo and White Leghorn hen and here are the babies. They are about 5 weeks old. I wish I could find more info on them!

Can you post some updated pictures of your CCLB/Wleghorn babies? How do the eggs look Color/size? I plan to hatch some this spring or summer.

I wish that I could have kept mine, but it was a rooster! I would also love to see photos of them older and the eggs that they lay!
