DNA testing labs

Post by cindy » Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:58 am

Does anyone know of a few good labs that does DNA testing, fairly inexpensively and with fast results? The one in Miami closed recently.

Avian Biotech - it's the only place I've ever used.
They're extremely helpful, really fast (will also email you results) and really knowledgeable.
They're in Tallahassee:

I used them to sex Critter and also for disease testing.

Thanks Tiffany, there was one in Miami that did the DNA testing for $13 but it closed. I am getting about 6 young bourkes from two different breeders. One breeder is DNA testing, one does not. I am seeing the DNA babies Friday and picking them up after Nov 3rd. The others will be picked up a few days later.

One of the ones I have to wait for is a pink/yellow..the parent has the red eyes. That one is about to become an egg soon!
