Anyone know where I can find a DNA sexing kit online?

I ordered the kit from avianbiotech.com, and looked into dnasexing.com. I don't know how legit it is so was hopeing someone had experience with this.

I know many, many people who have used Avian Biotech. If I was a US resident, they would be my first choice smile.gif

i have used a avian biotech home testing kit ,you have a choose of clipping there toe nails or flucking a couple of feathers from there chest area.i used the featheres as i didnt want to draw blood myself(my babys) wub.gif .anyway i flucked a couple of featheres in one pull for both of mine .it turned out i had one of each biggrin.gif ohmy.gif biggrin.gif .it stopped all the questions in my mind and its so good to know and stop wondering.
there is also aq beak theory which many people disagree with but was true in my cases but is hard to tell apart unless you have 2 oppersite sexs st together.

hope this has helped wink.gif

Thanks so much Gail it really did help. I just need to get this bird sexed or not cause I kinda sorta HAVE to know if its a boy or girl. It should be arriving in the next couple of days. I'd have to pull some feathers too because i'd hate drawing blood by clipping nails. Congrats on your boy and girl!!
