Unlock the Secrets of Your Flock

Our Dna Testing Services

At Runyans Roost Poultry Lab, we offer a range of DNA tests tailored to meet your specific needs:

• Gender: DNA Sexing (Male/Female determination). The best choice if you need to accurately determine the sex of your chicks or birds.
• Blue Egg Gene: Detects the Oocyan (O) allele (identifies Homozygous/Heterozygous carriers). Ideal for breeders looking to identify and breed birds carrying the blue egg gene.
• White Recessive: Identifies the recessive white plumage gene (c) often found in Silkies and other breeds. Essential for breeders working with recessive white plumage.

Sample Collection Is Key

To ensure accurate results, proper sample collection is crucial. The most important thing to remember is to avoid cross-contamination:

Avoid Cross-Contamination:

• Wash your hands or change gloves between handling different birds.
• Never put samples from two different birds in the same bag.
