Another Pullet or Roo Sapphire Gem! Would love help.

[Ovruinn]

Hello everyone! I bought this little one from TSC as a pullet, but upon getting home noticed a hidden white spot right on his/her little noggin that wasn’t obvious under the heat lamps there. As this little mystery has started growing up, I’ve really started wondering if I might have a roo. I’m almost hoping I do, to be honest! I have no experience with Sapphire Gems, and haven’t had chickens since I was a little girl, so I’m enjoying learning again. I also realize 3 weeks is probably too early to tell definitively, but I was hoping someone with more experience could help us out. This wee one’s name is Violet, and we’ve been joking about changing the name to “Violent” if we have a cockerel on our hands

Pics from recent to right after I brought this season’s babies home.

Probably. Male sapphire gems are barred, so since that is a barred blue bird out of a Sapphire Gem bin, I think it's safe to say it's a cockerel.

Going by the recent with that big pink combs. I'm assuming it's a single comb? I'd almost go cockerel.

Have a better pic of its comb-front, side?

Cockerel. Male Sapphire Gems are barred, which you can see in his wings.

Will take a clear one and post it as soon as I’m home! Thanks for your reply!

The bin was supposed to be all pullets, but I guess this is a tale as old as time a this point lol

I have brought home four roos out of pullet bins four times in the last year... Seriously. I always end up with the packing peanut lol
