Are sapphire splash Roosters barred?

I have a 4.5 month Sapphire Splash, Groucho that is pictured.

Your bird’s comb seems awfully red.

I’ll try to take some some pics tonight of the younger girls I have that are 2 months old of the same breed.

this picture is from the 3rd, so they have already grown a lot.

Thanks for all the helpful comparison photos! Yes mines comb does seem very red and I guess they are closer to 4 months old actually

I’m not sure how the genetics work with sapphire gems and splashes but I know that the gem males are barred is it the same with splashes? I have a 3 month old splash who seems to be to be quite rosy in the Comb and wattles. I’m really hoping She will not turn out to be a He. I’ve already had to rehome one unexpected rooster this year and would not like to go through it again.

The name sapphire gem is unique to Hoover's, which supplies many feed stores. Here's a link to the dominant blue, which seems to be the sapphire gem:

The hatchery told me that the sapphire gems were from barred rock/blue rock parent stock.
as for sapphire splash, I'd ask the hatchery, but they sound like the same genetics from their ads.

It's not at all unusual for a pullet of that age to have that amount of combing.
Hopefully she does turn out to be a girl.

The bottom foot color question was for my use. I got 4 chicks from a local. 2 he said were production blue and 2 were SG. 2 have yellow bottom feet (SG) and 2 have white(PB). But one of the yellow feet (SG) has yellow ring around neck . Im so confused! I think he made his own mixture or something.
The one i already posted has yellow feet bottoms. Here is the other yellow bottom foot one...he said SG

These 2 have white bottom feet. He said production blue

Your girls are beautiful! Are they laying yet? If so, will you post a picture of one please?
The way yours look and the white pads lead me towards production blue. Which is blue australorp (white pads) x Rhode Island Red.
I guess anything goes with the SG...lol

I think you have a girl. It looks like mine at 3 months and she’s laying eggs now. She’s started laying 2-3 weeks after that pic at 16 wks.

Nice to know. I was curious when to start looking for Eggs from mine. Groucho isn’t laying yet and she is almost 5 months.
