This chickens waddles and comb are very red compared to the other sapphire gem we bought. Which has me thinking maybe it’s a cockerel. Would have hatched last week of May. I am posting pic as a chick and today

Some of those tail feathers make me think roo.

I only have one other sapphire gem. She is lighter gray in color and always a tiny bit smaller so she may be a few days younger.

If they are sapphire gems they are sex linked. So both pullets.

I have never owned chickens before. Do they both look like sapphire gems to you ?

Everything is so confusing. Lol. I just wanted some hens to lay some eggs for my family.

She is a pullet. These bent feathers usually appear at the teenager stage and will go away later. About 20% of my pullets had this problem.
