Sapphire gem pullet or cockerel?

Thanks! I didn't know if the strie across the her head was any indicator.

Normal baby fluff.

This is what my chick looked like at 2 weeks.... and is now clearly a female. She was much bigger and lighter than the other one.

I need help. I randomly had them grab one Sapphire Gem (definitely a pullet, darker with no head spot) and two of what they call Sapphire Gem Olive Egger. Got them home and they both have a light spot on the head and bigger than the Sapphire Gem. One had a marker spot on the head. Usually an indication of a male. So now I'm really confused about if I got 2 pullets, 2 cockerals, or 1 male 1 female! Any advice?

Sapphire gems are supposed to be sex linked and this one was sold as a pullet, but I still have some doubts7 weeks old. Males are supposed to show barring.

Thanks in advance!

Just bought a couple of these today. Look like 3-5 weeks old.

Those look like what my pullets looked like at that age! They are the BEST hens! Early layers with huge eggs and such sweeties! I love them!

These are both pullets at 7 weeks.

Wow this thread definitely took a life of its own. To answer my original post, it was a pullet and now she lays nice large eggs!

I know it's been a while since the original post but at the point of the photo that looks like a saphire gem pullet. They have laced feathers as that one does. The spot on the head would have stayed until the head feathered out. But I have seen some conflicting info on how prominent the spot is to begin with. I'm pretty sure when it talks about barring on the roos it means barring like on a barred rock . Not lacing like I see in your picks.
I did run into a similar problem with mine
Bin said pullets and I knew they were sex links, so I didnt research how to tell them apart. One of mine didnt have a "spot" on its head, bit it had 2 faintly visible pale lines connected by a line like a sideways H. That one is bigger than the others and has full on barring on its head and body. My research is telling me its 90% chance a roo. But think yours is a pullet.

I realize this is an old post but was wondering if anyone could tell me if I have pullets, approx 8 weeks in this pic

I am thinking pullet, can't see the one whose comb is cropped out
