Sex and Breed Help Please

[Idaho Roosts]

Hello, we got chicks from North 40 the first week of April not sure how old they were then or now. I will include a picture of them when we got them for reference.
We are having a hard time with a few of them as far as breed, and this one for both breed and sex. I believe it is either a Sapphire Gem or Sapphire Olive Egger. We got 10 chicks 2 of 5 breeds. The rest are easy to tell apart but the Sapphires is not so easy!
Any help would be great!! Thank in advance!

Not sure on breed and I'm unfamiliar with what a north 40 is, but it is a cockerel

Looks just like a Sappire Gem cockerel to me.

When you got them, they were just a few days old.
If that was the first week of April, and this is the first week of June, the current age is about 9 weeks.

That one is probably a Sapphire Gem, because I would expect a Sapphire Olive Egger to have a small crest of feathers on the head, behind the comb. But there is a chance it's a Sapphire Olive Egger who didn't get the crest gene.

Either way, that bird is definitely a male.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! Was hoping our suspicions were wrong, but appears they weren't as far as our chickie being male. North 40 is a farm, ranch, outdoors etc supply store.

Thank you so much for the information! Now we have to find a new home for our little gent.
