Ok folks. The time has come to make my decisions on which of my roos I'm keeping. I'm having a hard time knowing which are the sapphire Gems and which are saphire olive eggers. I got them March 5th from Hoovers. Had to order 5 roos each of the Americana and sapphire olive eggers as that's what hoover said. I also ordered 5 straight run gems. I've got three different runs/coups. One has my starter packs lol. Buff orphs, couple barred rock, a yard sale red hen that I think is a bantam and just put Lucky and Thomas in with them. Thomas is 7th pic and Lucky is 9th pic. Lucky I hatched from one my buffs eggs and with my game fowl roo that I had to cull due to his getting fighting mean. I thought she was a hen but her big rose?? Comb and 2, yes only 2 pointy tail feathers ( rest are rounded or blunt) and what appears to be hackle and saddle feathers is saying otherwise.
Does Thomas look like a sapphire olive egger roo?
Do the first two pics look like sapphire gem roos?
Do the 3rd and 4th pic look like sapphire olive egger roos?
And no clue on the 5th pic. I'm guessing a sapphire olive egger?? He doesn't have the butt triangle tail...no tail bone at all and only one with white earlobes. I'm hoping olive egger as I'm not keeping any gem roos.

6th pic is Svet (цвет) Russian for color bloom lol and one of the Americana roos I'm keeping.

8th pic is Tootsie Pop (his wide head looking straight on at him looks like an owls head..the old how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop mr owl commercial 😆) he's another Americana roo I'm keeping.
Any help in making sure I'm not keeping any sapphire gem roos would be greatly appreciated!!

Pictures 1, 2 and 4 show Sapphire Gem cockerels. SGs will always be blue with barring and won't have other colors mixed in, nor will they have any crest feathers.

Pictures 3 and 6, plus the thumbnail picture at the end, show Legbar crosses. I'm not sure if Legbars are used in making Sapphire olive eggers, but it's a strong possibility. All three have a small amount of crest feathers.

The others look like Easter eggers, which are called Americanas but certain hatcheries.

Thanks so much! I had guess the same as you just told me except for my Mr. Roo. #4 pic. Guess I was hoping he was an olive egger so I could keep him since he's a big baby lol. I appreciate your time. 😁
