Would Sapphire Gems have slate legs? I’ll try to get better pics later today, my “girls” are 3 weeks old now & have slate legs with pink on the bottom of their feet but these are pics from their first week

If they have pink feet, they aren’t sapphire gems. They could be blue australorps, blue orpingtons, or blue andalusians. They’re too young to be sure of which breed they are.

They aren’t sapphire gems. Sapphire gems would have yellow on the bottom of their feet. They could be blue australorps, blue orpingtons, or blue andalusians. They’re too young to be sure of which breed they are.

They have yellow legs in the pics.

This was my SG baby. Her legs looked pinkish sometimes.

Those look more yellow than pink to me.

After seeing the pics of your baby I think they are definitely SGs or SOE
it’s so aggravating to be duped I was at least hoping for EE

Back again I need the expertise on the breed of these please. These are pictures from the lady I got them from, I can try to get better pictures tomorrow if need be. She said White Ameraucanas, 1 is white but I’m thinking the other 2 may be splash or are they EE? She got them from Valley Farms hatchery, I hadn’t heard of it before so I’m unsure if it’s like Hoover

I’m not sure what mine is? Her name is Pumpkin! We rescued her while she was wondering around our neighbor! We saved her from being eaten by raccoons! I think she has a pea comb? She has pink/whiteish coloring on the bottoms of her feet. She has blue kote on her feet still from fixing her bumble foot issue!She also lays blue eggs! She just lays them really thin shelled and will lay a soft shelled egg about every 3-4 months on the perch. Or at least she has at least 3 times since we’ve had her! So almost a year! I also have no idea how old she is?

They look like white ameraucanas so far.

Awesome thank you… even the 2 with gray/blue on their heads, chest & upper back are considered white?
I hate that their adorable little muffs aren’t visible in the pics, they are white on all
