Confirming this is Sapphire Gem chickie.

Hey everyone! I got six from a feed store and one already turned out to be an imposter but once I dug in I figured her out (mystic onyx vs the midnight majesty marans I thought I got). So now— what I believeto be a sapphire gem chick is developing some reddish feathers which is… unexpected. They’re on either side of her chest. I don’t have a pic yet, but here’s a few from the first few days.

Do you all think sapphire gem?

Thanks! Me too. I have some pics of the weird feathers in question now too.

This one is not a Sapphire Gem with those brown feathers. It could be a Production Blue, Rhode Island Blue, or even some kind of Easter egger.
