Feather Genetics Test (Frizzle vs. Standard Feathers)
 
Species supported: Chickens
 
This DNA test kit identifies whether your bird carries the frizzle gene- specifically no gene (smooth feathers), 1 copy (frizzle carrier), or 2 copies (extreme frizzle).  With this option, we will send a physical collection kit to you.  If you prefer to download the collection instructions and collect without a shipped kit- please click HERE for the downloadable option.
 
What it reveals:
Whether your bird is a frizzle carrier, frizzle dominant, or frizzle absent.
 
Ideal for:
Feather type confirmation in suspected frizzle birds
Breeding program planning
Genetic feather tracking
 
Works with dried blood samples on paper or in a collection tube.

Please note:  The cost for this kit includes a shipped sample collection kit, all materials to collect and send back samples for testing on ONE bird.
Your kit may include extra materials in case you need them.  If you intend to include extra samples from other birds for testing, please make sure you have prepaid for these services or included payment with the additional samples. If additionals are included without payment, this will delay testing until we can verify which sample should be tested.

Please follow all directions exactly to ensure a clean collection process with minimal risk of contamination. Samples sent with unknown substances attached or included in the sample bags may invalidate results.
