Roo or Pullet?

We got these two sapphire gems a week or so ago and were told they are both female. I’m pretty skeptical though.. any thoughts?

Wait for comb and wattles growth around 6 weeks.

So, you cannot wing sex chicks unless a hybrid chicken is bred specifically for it. But good news!
Sapphire gems are actually a cross made specially to be sexable by color as chicks. The males have a white dot on their head and grow up to be barred (vaguely striped with white/light gray). The females are a solid gray.
This means you have two girls!
Sorry. Just looked closer. Second one has the dot on the head and barred wings. That's a boy.

Does the second have a dot too?
Won't be a bold or clear one but if there's white on the top of its head, that's another boy.

I got some better pictures. We’ve never had sapphire gems before so I’m not sure how to properly sex them

Could you get photos of them in better lighting? It’s hard to see their combs and feathers clearly

Honestly, though SG’s are supposed to be autosexing, these guys are really hard to tell. Hopefully they are girls, but I don’t feel sure. If you update in a couple weeks, it’ll be clearer then.

Thanks for trying! I’ll update in a few weeks for sure.
