As with the average chicken breed the sapphire gem hen will tend to drop in egg production by around 20 after the first two years of laying. Please note that gray to light gray plumage is referred to as blue or lavender feathering in the chicken industry this czech hybrid breed is an excellent egg layer and a great forager. The sapphire gem as with its close relative the plymouth rock should do well as a backyard chicken due to its quiet nature. As with other single combed breeds it is wise to protect the sapphire gem from frostbite during the colder months to prevent their combs from falling off near the end of the season.

The sapphire gem is a sex linked hybrid created by a breeder in the czech republic. This little egg machine produces all year round and has been said to lay up to a mind blowing 290 eggs each year. They do best in warmer climates and are close to the old andalusians. Even better the cold winters does not affect her production too.

The sapphire gem chicken does well in all environments with reports of standing up to cold wintertimes with poise and also without decreased production. It is a hybrid that contains the dominate blue gene and is known for being a good layer of large brown eggs. So you can see her purpose is egg laying and is not generally used as a meat chicken.
