*Please do not choose this option for Silkies who do not yet have real feathers. This does not work with chick down. We will need blood spots on a plain piece of white paper or an index card if they are not old enough to have feathers yet.

Avian and Waterfowl DNA Testing – Lavender Gene
The Lavender PCR Gene Test for birds is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to detect the presence of the lavender gene, which is responsible for the unique lavender coloration in certain bird species. Ideal for breeders, veterinarians, and bird enthusiasts, this test identifies whether a bird is a carrier, non-carrier, or expresses the lavender trait. With rapid results and high sensitivity, the Lavender PCR Gene Test provides crucial insights into your bird’s genetic makeup, helping you make informed decisions about breeding, care, and color inheritance.
You will get one of two results with this test. Either your bird will not have the Lavender gene, or if they do. You will get a Yes or No on your results page.
We can do this test in Chickens and Geese, and accept a variety of sample types.
You will also have access to a Breeder Account and can add a photo of the bird to the certificate.
Please review the instructions on how to take the sample and mail it in here: https://pullidex.com/instructions/
Tested in our own lab. No shipping charges, results post to your account in about 2 to 3 business days after your samples arrive.
How to collect a feather sample
- Pluck 3 to 5 growing feathers from the chest or back. Pull them out, do not cut them.
- Check that the soft quill tip is attached to each one. That tip holds the DNA, a cut feather will not work.
- Put each bird's feathers in their own labelled paper envelope or a small ziplock.
- Mail the envelopes to us in a regular stamped envelope.
Takes about a minute per bird. No vet visit, and nothing ships to you first.
