Golden comets, sapphire gems, dark brahmas??

[Sara S]

I was blessed with 6 baby chicks yesterday (thanks rural king lol) 3 dark brahmas, 2 golden comets, and 1 sapphire gem. 12 days of chrismas vibes with These babies. I was just wondering any knowledge you have on then and SHARE YOUR PICTURES of them roosters, hens, babies, eggs and their names. Thanks!!, also the lifespan or health issues of the golden comet coz I heard they get bad reproductive tract issues. Thanks again

Congratulations. My avatar is a Saphire Gem pullet. Males will get red on their wings. Enjoy your new babies.

Just enjoy them, don't fret about possible problems. They won't live forever, but give them a good life while you got them. Replace a few each year, let a few go each year, and you will be golden.

She’s beautiful

Thank you. She is a friendly girl in the middle of the pecking order. She is a hybrid and my first egg layer. She isn't a year old yet and as a pullet she is laying eggs pretty much daily.
