About Feather Sample Collection from Newborn Squabs:
1. Since the yellow down of newborn squabs is very fine, please pluck at least 3-5 feathers. Move gently and slowly to avoid breaking. Only down with hair roots (follicle tissue) can be detected.
2. Squab down is fine and small, requiring a special sample collection tube for storage and shipping. Please place the order and pay at least one week before the squab hatches. We will then send the sample collection tube set to you as soon as possible, so that you can collect the down sample on the day of hatching and send it promptly.
After receiving the squab down sample, we will process and test it as soon as possible. Results can be sent to you within 2-15 working days, facilitating your immediate selection of the young racers.
