Is DDC Veterinary a reputable business? I am thinking about using them to confirm the gender of both of my birds.I did try googleing but didnt really find any reviews.

AvianBiotech is the company I had my Echo and Kodak DNA'ed with. They are quick with the results and will post them online for you as soon as they have the result.

You do have to be willing to either pull some feathers or snip a nail a bit short to put blood on the test card though.

I have never used DDC. All my testing was through Avianbiotech also. Results are back by email in days.

With Quakers, here's what I read before... Male's heads are a bit wider and just slightly larger. When I got my boy, you sure can tell looking at them side by side. It was him and his sister. He was still a baby but you can tell the differences. I finished handfeeding him myself. He was a wonderful bird and I still miss him.....
