What color eggs does a Sapphire Sky lay, and how many a year?

Sapphire Sky hens lay about 250 to 300 green eggs a year, with excellent feed-to-egg efficiency. It is often misspelled as Saphire Sky or Sapphire Skye.

When do Sapphire Sky hens start laying?

They mature at about 20 to 22 weeks and usually start laying soon after.

Can I order only hens, or will I get roosters?

Your choice. Order Female for hens only, Male for roosters, or Straight Run for chicks boxed as hatched, which usually means a mix. Our sexing is guaranteed 90% accurate. You don't need a rooster for eggs, and one rooster for every 6 to 10 hens is plenty if you want fertile eggs.

Is the Sapphire Sky cold hardy, and what is its temperament?

Yes. Sapphire Skies tolerate both cold and heat well. They are gentle, friendly, and easy keepers, so they are a good pick for beginners.
