I'm making this thread to post information specifically about the Sapphire Olive Eggers from Hoover's Hatchery. They are a new breed for them and I can't find very much information on the anywhere. (NOT A SAPPHIRE GEM - THEY LAY BROWN EGGS) These lay olive eggs. I contacted the hatchery and...

I'm having zero luck finding any pictures of this particular chicken. I have 2 1/2 week old Sapphire Olive Egger chicks from Hoover Hatchery. (NOT Sapphire Gems). There is very little information on them anywhere. I really want to know what the rooster for this breed would look like as I suspect...

I'm sure many people are soon going to be buying the sex-link Sapphires (thank you egg prices). I now have 10, from Hoover's through TSC. I have fears of a few being cockrels even though I paid extra for all pullets. What do I need to show here to get help to find out what my 3 day old chicks...

Hello! I have a 3 week old Sapphire Gem chick from Rural King and from what I understand, Sapphire Gems are sex-linked and males have a spot on the back of their head. This Gem has no spot on the back of the head…but look at the comb already coming in! Could this be a male?

I have a 5 1/2 month old cockerel needing a new home (or dinner plate :) ). He is only aggressive to me. He leaves my wife alone. He is a beautiful Sapphire Blue Plymouth Rock (so I was told at TS). He is in my profile picture. I am in the upstate of SC and like to find him a new home.

Ok, so I may have gotten a little burned on a “chicken deal” for Sapphires. I told the breeder we have a farm, and think that equated “they can take a bunch of cockerels”. My “blue laying” group of 10 chicken has 7 cockerels (not going to be seeing many eggs from them, eh?) They were “about 5...

Hello, I have a question about breeding sapphire gems, (290 eggs/year?) I know they won't breed true to the colors and I'll get a variation of blue splash and white spotted but will the egg production still be the same in the second and third Gen?

Hello! I have an extra Sapphire roo that I hate to part with and a bunch of Easter Egger hens. Any ideas what this combination might produce?
