Yes they get to live out their lives at the park. I’ve dropped off 6 cockerels in the last 2 years.Oh shoot! but hey I am sure he is very happy there, I know I would if I was a rooster
Did any of yours have a light brown spot on them? I just got two a week ago. They are both beautiful blue gray. One has a brown spot on it’s head and the other has a brown spot just past the middle of it’s back.They are all 5 hens. The 1 that’s barred and crested with yellow legs is laying a light brown egg. 3 that are solid gray -2 crested- lay green eggs. The one that looks just like Hoover’s sapphire OE pic , gray with black head, slate legs - also lays light brown eggs. Talk about disappointment.
No they didn’t have any brown, 2 of them and dark heads and three had white and gray. As they grew out they are all hens. Of the 2 with dark heads, one is crested and lays light green. The other is crested and lays a brown egg. Two of the spotted turned out barred, one crested that lays brown, one not crested that lays light green. The last turned out a pretty blueish gray, not created and lay a light green. Hoover’s would say what they crossed but as you can tell they don’t have the genetics map out well. What you get is a guess.Did any of yours have a light brown spot on them? I just got two a week ago. They are both beautiful blue gray.

You appear to have a mix of breeds or mix of mixed breeds in there. The barred chick looks like a hatchery barred rock. The gray birds look like they may have crests, maybe. The brown chicks.... Do they have green legs? I'm guessing easter eggers with that.
Going to the hardware store or even a feed store to buy chicks has its risks. The people who work there don't know anything about chicks or chickens. They sell a product, and probably as fast as they can to get the loud peeping and feather dust and mess out of their store.
ETA: I just went on Hoover's website. I think that the store put the Sapphire Gems and the Olive Eggers in the same bin, and called it all one name.
Mine were listed as Sapphire gem olive egger. I am now able to see that BB, the one with a brown spot on it’s head is a cockerel. His crown is showing now and he has waddles unlike the other who is not showing any changes. She is also a maybe a day or two older.Hoovers also has a breed called a sapphire gem olive egger as well as the sapphire gem. They are in 2 different sections sapphire gem olive egger is listed unfer colored egg layers snd sapphire gems are listed under brown layers.
