4 Saphire Gem F. chicks

$12 each At a Cities farm and Garden store.

I have 21 0thers on order from an AG center .

But they said the order might not get filled by July...so I paid a lot for these 4.

Hello babies!

Ill tell them hello for you Ashley

I hope you have better luck with sapphire gems than I did. I had two in my mixed batch of 7 hens and they were egg eaters. Caught em in the act, pecking them to break them open then eating them. That was over a year ago, none since after culling them.

Ive had them before and enjoy them.

They are good looking hens, it was probably just these two, but it kinda scared me from getting more of them. Maybe someday I will give em a try again.

The supply is finally catching up with demand on chicks around here. Adult hens are a different matter.

I hope they lay loads of great eggs for you Scott.

Nice looking chicks.

Thanks Keith,

I could have hatched some from our flock of 6, They are laying well yet; I just am not feeling like intubating eggs right now.

If you put ceramic eggs in were there pecking eggs this will often stop the egg eating.

That works sometimes

I hatched 15 out of 18 eggs that i set three weeks ago . Trying to increase my hens from 6 . Il have to wait and see what they turn out to be.
