So this is more for me just to make sure but about 5 weeks ago I got 4 chicks, 2 Rhode Island Red and 2 Sapphire gems. Well, I hope they are Sapphire gems. So when I went to my local farm store (Murdoch's - if you are in northwest you should know what it is), they had a bin of assorted layers and I got two chicks that look like Sapphire gems (from my research). I am now just a bit skeptical that only one of them are or maybe neither bc they dont have light body then dark head. Is this just because they still only have temporary feathers? Other then that, I bought them all as pullets but just want to make sure they all are. Thank you!


This is Amethyst, one of the suspected sapphire gems

Anyways, do you think they are all girls, and the blue ones are Sapphire gems, and Thank you!
 
Since a Sapphire Gem is a mix, it makes sense that the one you're questioning might really be a Sapphire Gem too. Murdochs uses Hoovers so you could look at the Blue feathered breeds on Hoovers website to sleuth. It might also be another one of their mixes "Prairie Bluebell." I think your names are super cute!!! ENJOY.
