What is a sapphire gem?

[PouleNoire]

Sweet! Thanks, as many pictures we can get of these birds would be fantastic! Spread the sapphire gem knowledge if you will, haha!

Got my Sapphire Gems, camped out to get mine and helped the staff to unload direct from post office this morning. I avoided the lighter ones but got tempted to get them since they are gorgeous, just for suggestion by @PachecoPeeps & @renk777.

Not the best pictures but here are some new ones. They will be 4 weeks on Tuesday.

So are the lighter ones showing the characteristics of roo? Or not ? Does it disprove our group conclusions, darker head and some dark markings on legs female? Is these sex links really a sex link? Ha ha so many qs.

So my stylus isn't working so I couldn't write but I'm reposting your pic. I don't think it includes all your fluffy bottoms but of the ones pictured, I see mostly females, 2 that I can't say for sure (can't see beaks) and one I'm almost certain is a roo! He's got the blue arrow

Though my certainty is based on the coloring in addition to the light beak on my phone. Now when I'm on my PC, s/he appears darker! Ack! Can you get a pic of little blue-arrow bird in daylight?

As of right now my lighter ones seem to have more male characteristic. Bigger combs, thicker legs, more alert when I walk in the room. But they don't have waddles yet or pink in the comb so I'm holding out hope

I will, though you seem right on the money on that. When I was looking at the chick bin majority has some darker markings on the legs or beaks except one or 2. I tell you though, those lighter colored chicks are unbelievably cool looking so I got 2 of each.

i ordered 2 of them from Hoover Hatchery. Mine are just babies but so cute.

I didn’t go through all the pages, so someone may have already shared this, but I found this link after researching my new gem chick.
