Hello everyone, Im sure im asking something that has been asked numerous times. We just bought 2 babies only 5 weeks old. they are 2 days apart. One looks so much bigger than the other. One maybe a female? I know ill have to take them in for DNA. Anyhow, what's the appropiate age to have them tested? I was thinking when they are like 7weeks old?

 

please advise

 

thanks so much in advance.

Hi archna, Welcome to the forum.

 

As they are both very young i would give avian biotech a call & ask at what age they advise, They are able to do DNA sexing from a single drop of blood or small chest feather, the chest feather being the friendlier option for your bird,if un-sure please allow your avian vet to do it when the babies are older..

Here is a few links for you which have information on feeding.. if you have a look around the nursery you will find topics related to baby greys.
