🐣 Come along with Caiden Joe and learn how to collect a blood sample for DNA testing!
1. Put on gloves.
2. Clean a toenail with alcohol.
3. Clip the tip of the toenail.
4. Let a drop of blood soak into a labeled coffee filter (the corner of a folded coffee filter works best).
5. Apply Wonder Dust to stop the bleeding.
6. Let the coffee filter dry completely, then place it in a Ziplock bag.
7. Band your bird so you know which sample belongs to which chick.
8. Mail your samples and wait for your results!
