Sapphire gem

[alinas2010]

Hello hello We got 5 sapphire gem hens in December 2021. One of our hens has gone broody so far. She hatched out 5 chicks. Only 2 survived, because mice. She has been an interesting mother, though it is her first time, so we’ve given her grace. She has raised her 2 little chicks well despite the oddities. She was very defensive of them, which is good and still hasn’t weaned them. Her little chickies are very friendly just like her. Overall, a good broody hen. I know this reply is late, but I hope it answers your question <3

I’ve been wondering this, also. Thanks! I have a sapphire gem we just got in May, she is the friendliest hen we have and I just adore her, very sweet. Would love for her to raise chicks if she would sometime in her life.
