We got new chicks in late March (hawk took most of what we had) 4 of the chicks are supposed to Sapphire gem pullers, but they don't look quite right for thay compared to other pictures I've seen. One seems to have an over developed comb compared to the other three as well. I'm thinking they are a lavender something, but would appreciate opinions of more experienced people. The first two pictures were what they looked like as chicks. The third is the one with the large comb, and then two of the others (all three taken today)
Forgot to add, I got them at Rural King, but the tubs had a few different breed in each

Here's another of the one I'm thinking is not a pullet next to one of the others

They might be Sapphire Splashes is your RK gets their chicks from Hoovers. The biggest bird with the bright red comb is definitely male. Other two are pullets.

Also, the goslings are adorable.

I'm thinking splashes the more I look at them. I was afraid that one would be a boy. The geese are so funny. My 90lb dogs are terrified of them.
