Who's Got the Cluck-tastic DNA Deets for My Flock?
Well, I've got a serious case of the fowl play jitters just reading this. DNA testing your flock sounds egg-citing in theory, but the options are enough to make anyone consider chickening out. This poor soul wants to unravel the genetic secrets of their Runners, Sebastopol geese, Cochins, and Silkies, plus all the offspring, and the research left them clucking overwhelmed. I get it. The big question: blood, feathers, or egg membrane? Did you spring for a fancy collection kit or MacGyver it with a coffee filter? And the cost, did volume earn a discount? If you're feeling brave, check out our piece on "This bird's afro is so egg-citing it's clucking adorable" for more feathered fun. Spill the cluck-tastic deets, please.
