Whatcha think? Sapphire gem Roos?

I purchased 2 chicks from TSC with yellowish head spots, because I wanted a rooster for my new flock as I had purchased female SG's straight from the hatchery. TSC told me they were bluebell eggers, but I am not so sure. I am new at this. Their combs are pretty pronounced for 3 weeks old and they are much more skittish than my pullets. They have some barring but I didn't know if these are what they will look like as they mature and get more adult feather. I know I'll find out sooner or later, but just so darn curious!

I would say so, but these ones are pretty hard to tell....

Awe so cute. Try sending a pic via email to Hoovers. Since all of these are mixes there might be no way for anyone but Hoovers to know... I've never worked with Hoovers but I've found other Hatcheries to be really helpful this way (email questions and pics.)

I imagine that I just need to be patient...lol.

Thank you. Great idea!

If they are Prairie Bluebell Eggers then they are cockerels. That is a sex-linked cross with barred males and solid females. I can't tell you if that is actually what they are though, but the color looks about right.

If they are indeed a cross made with barred males and solid females, then the barring isn’t sex-linked. I’m thinking both look like pullets, probably Legbar crosses.

The sex-linking produces barred males and solid females. It isn't made with them. The parent stock are solid males and barred females

My bad, I read your post wrong.
