đ©” DNA Blue Gene Test
Does your bird carry the blue eggshell gene (O)?
This test identifies whether your chicken carries one or two copies of the O (oocyan) gene, responsible for blue eggshells. Knowing your birdâs genetic status helps you plan breeding projects, especially for Olive Eggers, Easter Eggers, and Ameraucana-based crosses.

Quick turn around. Good communication. Way to follow instructions.
I had a fantastic experience with Freshly Picked Chicks for a DNA blue gene test. I was nervous to pull the feathers at first but found their guidance helpful. All communication was quick and so kind. Will definitely use them again!
I appreciate how easy it was to mail in the sample. They responded to emails very quickly and had results within 24 hours of receiving them as promised!! Will be ordering more tests soon.
Canât say enough good about the service Shannon provides. The feathers I sent her were questionable and she wasnât able to get a solid read so she asked me to send more feathers. Then she ran the test again and got a good read because I sent a better sample. I really appreciate her customer service! And I will continue to use her services and refer her to others. Thanks Shannon!
I had a wonderful experience with Freshly Picked Chicks and their DNA testing. I loved how simple it was to get started, no waiting for supplies in the mail. They were quick to respond with questions and I had results quickly! I will definitely be using their services again!
