Sapphire gem

[Unexpected chicken lover]

Im very inteterested in this breed. Does anyine around here breed them? I have done internet research and some say they lay cream colored eggs, some say a bright blue?

"Sapphire Gem should lay brown/creme eggs and "sapphire" lay blue eggs. Sapphire are a CCL Xs leghorn cross.
There's a couple active sapphire gem threads here.

Sapphire Gem sleeping

This is my 3 week old Sapphire Gem named “Sapphire”. She loves sitting on my lap and places her head in my hand like this. When my hand isn’t down far enough she still puts her head in there. This is how she loves to nap.

Sapphire gems are supposed to be a new blue sex link chicken. Sapphires are called sapphires because they are supposed to lay blue eggs.

This is my sapphire, I got her from a member here on BYC (as @The Moonshiner said, she's a cross between a cream leg bar and a leghorn), she lays blue eggs. Here she is laying down behind the Welsummer rooster:
