Poultry Genetics Lab – Opening January 2026

Freshly Picked Chicks is hatching something brand new! 🧬🐣

Starting January 2026, we’re opening our very own Poultry Genetics Lab—a small but specialized facility built to bring accurate, affordable DNA testing straight to poultry keepers and breeders of all sizes.

Our Initial Services

At launch, we’ll be offering:

• Gender (Sex) Testing – Fast and reliable DNA sexing for both poultry and emus. No more guessing—know early whether you’ve got hens or roosters, males or females.
• Blue Egg Gene Testing – Confirm whether your birds carry the blue shell gene  that produces those iconic bright blue and green eggs.
• Recessive White Gene Testing – Identify carriers of the recessive white gene, so you can plan your breeding projects with confidence.

Why Choose DNA Testing?

Knowing the genetics behind your flock is a game-changer. With our testing, you can:

• Accurately identify gender long before physical traits appear
• Make smarter breeding decisions
• Strengthen rare and heritage lines
• Build the colorful egg basket you’ve always wanted

Our Commitment

We’re breeders ourselves—we know the challenges of guessing and waiting. That’s why we’re committed to making DNA testing accessible, affordable, and accurate, designed specifically for the needs of poultry and emu keepers.
