Sapphire gem question

[Sharrykb]

This is one of my almost 15 week old chicks that is supposed to be a Sapphire Gem hopefully pullet. Can anyone tell me if these random black spots on "her" feathers is normal?

All of my sapphire gems have them. Looks like a girl to me!!

She just has some mottling, it's not an indication of gender, it's clearly a girl.

Genetically she is not mottled. She is just normal blue. They can get a few stray darker feathers!

Yeah, I was already 99.9% sure she's a hen. I just wasn't sure what the dark spots were since I hadn't seen them in any pictures of Sapphire Gems before.
