Why breeders order it

The details

Unsure whether your bird is compatible? Ask Bailey’s before ordering.

Results are normally ready within 1–3 business days after the laboratory receives an acceptable sample.

Use clean hands or gloves, label every envelope before collection, and keep samples from different ostriches completely separate.

Can I order before entering my ostrich’s details?

Yes. Purchase the number of tests you need, then add each bird’s ID and sample details from your portal before mailing.

Determine a bird’s genetic sex from an accepted feather or blood sample.

Screen for the blue egg gene to support more informed breeding decisions.
