So I got these birds in April as astrolorps, which clearly they aren’t. I’m thinking candidate #1 (Myrtle) is a sapphire gem but candidate #2 (Henrietta) I have no clue. Any ideas for either of these birds? Thank you!

I believe they are both Sapphire Gems. Some Sapphire Gems have copper leakage on the hackle feathers, from what I understand.
Where did you get them?
Interesting, I didn’t know that. I got them at tractor supply. This is my first year with chickens so I didn’t know you generally get a mixed bag when going there. I’ve loved having chickens so far, it’s launched me into a full blown chicken craze my wife thinks I’ve lost it 😂

Yes, TSC mislabels their birds quite often.
If you look up "Sapphire Gem chickens" online, some will have the copper leakage.
