🧬 Mauve Feather Gene Combo Test – Blue + Chocolate DNA Testing

Ready to unlock the secret to Mauve? This discounted combo test checks for both the Blue (Bl) and Chocolate (choc/Z) feather color genes to identify birds that may produce or display the beautiful Mauve phenotype.

Mauve occurs when a bird inherits one copy of the Blue gene and one copy of the Chocolate gene — a rare and striking combination that dilutes pigment into a soft, silvery-lavender brown. This test bundles our two existing tests at a reduced price, so you can check for both traits in a single order.

🔹 What’s Included:

• Blue Feather Gene Test (Bl / bl⁺): Detects whether your bird carries or expresses the dominant Blue dilution gene.

• Chocolate Feather Gene Test (choc / Z⁺ or choc / choc): Identifies carriers and expressers of the sex-linked Chocolate gene.

🔍 Mauve Genetics Simplified:
To be Mauve:

• Must have 1 copy of Blue (Bl/bl⁺)

• Must carry 1 copy of Chocolate (choc/Z⁺ in males or choc/choc in females)
