Sexing (Gender Test)
Accuracy: 99%
Quick and easy DNA test to determine if your chick is male or female—even from hatch!
Recessive White Feather Gene
Find out if your bird carries the recessive white gene, which affects feather coloration. Helpful for breeding plans and genetic pairing.
Blue Egg Gene (Shell Color)
Checks for the blue egg gene (oocyanin), responsible for blue or green eggshells. A favorite trait for egg color enthusiasts and breeders!
Lavender Feather Gene
We’ll determine how many copies of the lavender (lav) gene your chicken carries:
• LAV/LAV** – Homozygous (True lavender)
• LAV/N** – Heterozygous (Carrier)
• N/N* – Not a carrier
This test is helpful for identifying visual feather traits and planning lavender lines.
