This DNA test determines whether a bird is male (ZZ) or female (ZW) by amplifying sex-linked genetic markers. Results provide a reliable, science-based answer –– especially for chicks and species with no visible sexual dimorphism at hatch.
Visual sexing in many bird species is unreliable or delayed until maturity. DNA sexing provides clarity immediately, allowing breeders and owners to make informed decisions early on.
