archna Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 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. archna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 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.. http://www.avianbiotech.com/ 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. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73409-handfeeding-a-baby-grey.html http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73842-associated-risks-of-hand-feeding.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
