Sapphire Gem - Progression

[Madrock]

I wonder if your darker chick will end up like my darker hen. Do you care if I share pictures?

Please do! Thank you!

These are both of my girls! Two very different looking birds but the same breed. This was a little bit before they started laying. Their combs are much bigger and floppier now.

Such a pretty breed. Thank you for sharing!

Here they are at 4 weeks: Hennifer (dark one) and Huckleberry (light one)

I’ve read this breed is known to grow combs faster than other breeds. I’m starting to see that.

I missed last week, but here they are at 6 weeks. Hennifer is now named Mosiac (first 2 pictures) and Huckleberry (last 2 pictures).

They are very beautiful. I loved my Sapphire Gems & they were excellent layers, pretty much every day all winter. All 4 of mine looked different despite being the same breed. I liked that though, it was easier to tell them apart

I can’t tell mine apart now They seemed pretty different early on in shade, but now identical. Hopefully it gets easier later!

I’d love to see updated photos

Two lighter and two darker, but it’s a lot harder to tell when they’re all in the sun

They’re beautiful. I can understand. I had 2 that were very similar like that until their combs fully came in. 1 had a floppy comb.
