What is a sapphire gem?

She is darling!

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?

That really light one was sold right after I picked up my chicks, they all sold out fast. But here’s some close up of my chicks.


This one tried to swallow some of them, reason we took the pics in the closed door laundry lol.

LOL Cute pup! As for the pics of the girls...yeah...I think they're all girls. The lightest of them has a bit more dark than my boys did...and there's the contrast between the light around the beak and the rest of the head. I also see a little dark spot on the beak. I suppose it could still be a roo, but without seeing the feet, my guess is another female. Nice!

I bought some of these which about a month ago. Terrible temperament imo and I have mine up for sale. I had them in the house for over a month and worked with them and they are just Looney. To be fair to this breed wherever mine came from, they started out like the pics shown but this is how they turned out.

Except for maybe the one all the way on the right, those don't look like SGs to me. Where'd you get them? Mine are sweet as anything...I hardly have time to handle them as much as I'd like and even my husband noted that when I reach in, they come running to me. If I bring one out on my desk while I work, it just settles down next to me and watches as I type. So far, I've been really excited about the temperament of mine. I haven't had many birds to date but thinking these are the most docile and inquisitive in my experience thus far. I wish I was more familiar with chicks but the red/dun color on your chicks leads me to believe you got an entirely different breed. Hopefully someone can weigh in...

I was just looking at them. I don't know what I got. I don't usually buy hatchery birds because temperament is all over the place. Sometimes you win and sometimes you loose

Maybe you got something really unique that's just a bit flighty? Which hatchery did you use? I wonder what else they were selling that might have been sent in error?

 

[bhaugh]

They had all kinds of chicks. Ill just chalk it up to hatchery mixed breed

I see puffy cheeks? I think you have EEs. They can be pretty flighty until they reach POL.
