Rescued from SPCA, apparently from homeless encampment

Anybody able to tell me the breed?

The second one is a production blue. Meaning Rhode Island Red mixed with a blue austrolorpe. Not so sure on the 1rst one. Pretty hens

Pretty Sapphire Gem!

The first one is the same chicken. Thank you! Here’s two more of her. She lays light brown eggs. Bred with wellsummer roo and curious to see what their chicks will look like.

I agree, Production Blue and likely to specifically be a Sapphire Gem

I have two Sapphire Gems, and that's what I would bet your girl is, too. Vanna and Petra lay very light brownish eggs.

It's great that you're provided a home for her!

What color are the bottoms of her feet? She looks a lot like my Blue Australorps.

Regardless of which of these possible breeds she is, it seems that you've got a lovely, vigorous hen to enjoy.

Same here. I have sapphire gems, which is what these chickens look like, and only have good things to say! (Except for perhaps how talkative they are but it makes the barn more lively!)

Thank you all. After google, I agree. She goes lay light brown. Out of 6 hens (2 easters) only one lays blue. Hoping to get some more color in our flock. We have 5 acres and the rooster and chicken roam all day with my Siamese cat who thinks she’s a chicken they are all happy and spoiled.

I have 3 Sapphire Gems; Skye, Indigo, and Saffire. They are really nice hens and mine lay very large eggs. It's great you could rescue some.
