Meyer Hatchery - Sapphire Jewel

[Prairie Hills Homestead]

Do you have any photos of your Sapphire Jewels? I tried to order one and they said I had to order two. So I ordered two. Then they said the order had to be minimum of eight chicks even for pick up. So I asked if they would put two on hold for me until I could get there. Some guy named Jeff said absolutely not. Not even if I paid the full price of $22.40 each. So they threw them in the bargain bin. Now I have 10 yellow chicks with black specs yellow legs and beards. I would absolutely love to think that I have 10 Sapphire Jewels from the bargain bin. Probably not, but until I know otherwise I’m going to pretend I do. So I was just wondering what your checks look like now.

Here's what they looked like two weeks ago at days old to 2 weeks old. I can take another photo of them now that they are a month old.

Is one of them rumpless? One of mine is. Never knew Meyer Hatchery had so many cross breeds. Thanks so much for the photos. I needed a good chick pic today.

I have no idea! Let me go check.. I do know some have less of a tail and one looks like it has mini muffs.. most of the combs are going to be pea combs but some are straight, like the cockerel

They all have tails! There are 3 & 4 week old birds in there. Some still are fluffy, others look like they're molting.

I now realize your 20230118_191652-jpg photo is a day old chicks. Unfortunately one of my chicks form 1/17/23 is STILL rumpless! Mind you they are from the bargain bin, breed unspecified. But I'm still hoping some of them are Sapphire Jewels.

There's a thread on how to take good pics. Unfortunately my chicks refused to read it.

Chicken math at its finest. I am in ohio and I love going and buying from that bargain bin. Sexed pullets all $2. It’s like a chicken lady casino! I’ve gotten very expensive hens from that bin.

This year the price is $3. But still a bargain!

Darn it! Chicken inflation. Oh well! Haha

I swear it was $1.50 last September when I got one from that bin. I wonder if they up the price for peak season. And I guess this year they adjusted for inflation.
