Sapphire or Barred?

[mbh656s]

I got these babies in a Hoover random mix at a farm store. Thought they were Barreds now I am afraid we got all rooster Sapphire Gems. Any good guesses? I was assured they mix was supposed be to be al hens but…. Chicks are 2.5 weeks old

Nor barred rocks, but not sure of what they are

I don’t know what they are but they’re pretty. I really don’t see any definite cockerels though but no guarantees at this age.

They look blue
So likely sapphire males or blue cuckoo marans. Not sure of those are sold in hatcheries though

Likely a mix of some sorts

Hoover does sell Sapphire Gems and Cuckoo Marans. It was supposed to be all pullets but…
Don’t think they are Marans the legs are too yellow.

No, I meant I'm nor sure if BLUE cuckoo marans, specifically, are sold at Hoover's

Tractor Supply sells their Blue Marans and Blue Cuckoo Marans as "Cuckoo Marans," and Tractor Supply gets all of their chickens from Hoover's Hatchery. I wold assume they would have those breeds.

I'm not sure about their breed either, though.

I owned some barred rocks recently, and they look like your chicks! those look like hens, but you'll probably have to wait a bit longer to find out.
they could be sapphire olive eggers, too! i had some of those, too, but they had tiny spots of yellow before they molted, so not sure.
