I know one of these chicks is a hen and one is a roo but I don't know this breed very well to determine so some help would be great! I suspect 1 as my roo as this chicken is heavier and longer tail feathers and I think number 2 is my hen. What do you guys think? Number 1 tends to be more aggressive towards the other babies too.

#1 has the three rows of peas for a comb, so he's definitely a rooster. But are you sure these are Sapphire Gems? Unless I'm wrong, I thought those are single combed, and don't have crests.... I'm almost thinking that those are Olive Eggers.

They are sapphire olive eggers :) Thanks! I was suspecting that and wanted to make sure before I had to part with him back to the lady I got him from. I've had the worst luck with getting roosters that were supposed to be hens this year. I'm already keeping 2 roos I shouldn't.

Oh, ok! Sorry, I misread your title, I saw the word 'Sapphire'. :lol: Yep!
