Sapphire gem?

[Reaperprincess]

I have a hen here who i dont know the breed of can anyone help?
This is the mom from what i could find she can be either a blue wyandotte, Sapphire gem or lavender orpington.

This is the dad he is a dorking mix

But these are their chicks.
This is my rooster from his coloring and posture i think he is a isabella leghorn

And then my two hens one i think is a sapphire gem and the other I dont know.

Can anyone help? Am I right with the breeds or are they a different breed? Sorry about their coop I still have to clean today?

You can't breed together a bunch of mixed breed birds and expect their chicks to be completely different breeds, based on how they look. They're just mixes of whatever the parents are.
I would guess the mom is a blue Wyandotte mix. She's not a sapphire gem, and definitely not a lavender orpington.
In short, they're all mixes, the chicks are probably just mutts. You can't just assign them breeds based on which breed they look the most like.

I saw 2 roosters but I didn't see any CHICKS.Did you mean to say the 2nd rooster is the 1st roosters chick?

Yes the first two are the patents and the other three are their children the cockerel is now 10 months, the first pullet is 8 months and the last pullet is 5 months old

They just finished their molt and I was curious!

Clover 39 is absolutely right. In order to get particular breed chicks, you have to breed a purebred hen of that breed to a purebred rooster of the same breed.

Think of it like dogs. If you have a dog that's half Dalmatian and half Weimaraner, and breed it to a dog that's half black Lab and half Husky, the puppies are not going to be pure Malamutes even if by some crazy miracle that's what they look like.

I agree the momma hen isn't a Sapphire Gem but she's gorgeous. Most of us have a flock full of mutts after mixing different breeds. Welcome to the guessing game of "What are they?"

You can say that again.

'Identifying their breed' is irrelevant.This ones daddy is a pure cream legbar and his momma is a pure brown leghorn.He is darker than his daddy and lighter than his momma lol

Is your tortoise native? Wild or pet? Does it live with your chickens? (Sorry, know it is off topic, but it was photo bombing!)
