In this episode of the Poultry Nerds Podcast, we sit down with Brittany from Knights Poultry and Lab in Mississippi to explore the fascinating world of chicken DNA testing. From sexing Silkies and Ameraucanas to identifying the blue egg gene, recessive white, chocolate, lavender, and even duck or emu testing, Brittany shares how she turned a personal hobby into a growing poultry lab serving breeders nationwide.

We cover:

• How DNA testing helps chicken owners avoid surprises in city limits & HOAs 🏡
• Why Silkies, Ameraucanas, and call ducks are common candidates for poultry testing
• Step-by-step process for collecting a sample and submitting it for fast results
• What DNA tests can reveal (blue egg gene, recessive white, chocolate, lavender, and more)
• The future of poultry genetics, including fibro and quail egg testing

Whether you’re raising chickens for show, breeding projects, or backyard fun, this episode is packed with practical insights into poultry science, genetics, and the tools that can save you time, feed, and space.
