Genotype testing helps you understand the genetics behind your flock. We test for Blue Egg, Lavender, and Recessive White genes.

Getting accurate poultry, gender sexing, and genotype test results starts with a clean, organized collection process. Before you begin, gather these essential supplies to ensure everything goes smoothly.

  • Alcohol swabs

    For cleaning the collection site and maintaining sterility.

  • Styptic powder or any powder

    A must-have to safely and instantly stop bleeding after collection.

  • Numbered tubes & baggies

    Keep your samples clearly labeled (1, 2, 3) to match your birds perfectly.

  • Blood collection paper

    A piece of coffee filter paper, ready for a single, neat drop of blood.

  • Sterile scissors

    For clean, precise handling of your testing materials.

  • Love (highly recommended)

    A calm bird and a steady hand make for the neatest drop of blood.

    Helpful for recessive white planning

    Used the recessive white genotype panel to sort out a mixed pen. One sample needed a re-run, but the lab handled it quickly at no extra charge.

    Batch testing at scale

    We submitted a larger lavender panel run for our hatchery stock. Labels were easy to track and every sample came back with readable calls.

    Great overview before ordering

    I have not ordered genotype testing yet, but the product page and sample collection guide answered every question I had about which genes are included.

    Solid genotype results

    Turnaround was a couple of days longer than gender sexing, but the gene calls were straightforward and helped us pair birds for next season.

    Exactly what our breeding program needed

    We ran Blue Egg and Lavender panels on a small pen of silkies. Results were clear, fast, and matched what we expected from our records. The dashboard reveal is a nice touch.
