Kali Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Is there any way to sex CAGs other than DNA testing? I read somewhere that females tend to have red feathers around the vent, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 There is no sure way. A DNA is the only 100%. There is threads in here on gender. Look them up and look at the responses. I done DNA on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Running a 100% so far on DNA is the only way for 99.9 percent certainty. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 DNA is the only 100 % accurate way to be sure.Visual sexing is not reliable & you would need years of experience to attempt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 DNA testing is the only way to be sure, short of the bird laying an egg! Of course, the DNA test is only as accurate as the lab performing it. There can be lab errors, though it is rare. Just wanted to be sure eveyone understands that lab errors are a small, but real possibility. DNA testing is 100% accurate if performed properly.<br><br>Post edited by: dblhelix, at: 2007/09/04 20:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loviechick Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 DNA is the only way to do it however I've said it before and I'll say it again, both my Greys had the visual markers, the lighter strips under the wings, the grey tips on the vent feathers, and the thin eye rings, and both have been sexed as females.
