Our Sapphire Splash is a rebel rendition of our Sapphire Gem, with a mix of light to medium dark gray plumage and specks of darker feathering showing up throughout its body. This Czech breed has great performance just like its other Czech cousins. It is both cold and hot weather hardy and is a high performing egg producer. Please note that due to its splash coloring the colors of the bird will vary.

Fun fact: A Hoover's Hatchery original.
