Sapphire Gems: The Unknown Chicken?

Soooo......I think this sapphire is a roo. The comb is twice as big and red as the others. The face is bigger too. Thoughts?

No clue. You should start another thread and ask some more experienced members!

Oh most definitely! I’m keeping a female sapphire as well and and will try breeding him to her to see if they breed true. Also going to try a speckled Sussex/Sapphire cross.

Hello! So I know there’s not much known about this breed so I’m going to document mine. I got 4 pullets today from Atwoods. Super excited! So far they seems to be very calm, docile, and curious. They seems to be alright with being handled.

They look like one of our babies we got from a breeder in our area, they told us she is an Olive Egger. Interesting.

They are gorgeous! When I get back home from visiting my parents I’ll take some pictures of mine.

My handsome roo and his girls. If the sapphires breed true, I’m going to show Rúni, my rooster. Thoughts?
