Chicken PCR Sex Test Livestream

Join William Padilla-Brown for a one-of-a-kind science-meets-homestead livestream where we’ll be running real PCR sex tests on chickens in real time. This is a transparent look at how genetic sexing works—feathers to DNA extraction, PCR setup, thermocycling, gel running, and band interpretation. If you've ever mailed in samples, wondered how hatcheries do it, or just want to see real molecular biology in action, this is the livest, nerdiest, most entertaining lab demo you’ll catch all year. What You’ll See: Rapid feather-based DNA extraction Setting up PCR to detect ZW vs ZZ chromosomes Running an agarose gel to visualize the results Live interpretation of each bird’s sex Q&A on equipment, reagents, and DIY backyard molecular biology Discussion about what molecular tools mean for small farmers & breeders Pricing: $10 Admission – watch the full livestream $25 per Bird – your feather sample included in the PCR run $40 VIP Bird Slot – your bird tested first + you get a timestamped gel photo & clip for your records Link for Samples: https://mycosymbiotics.com/products/live-pcr-chicken-sex-test-livestream-service How to submit your sample: After registering, you’ll receive the simple feather-pull instructions + the address to mail or drop off samples before the stream. Who this is for: Chicken keepers & backyard breeders Serama, OEGB, bantam & project breeders Homesteaders Science lovers Educators & students Anyone who wants to see real biotechnology in action What you get: Full live access Recording provided to all Supporter & VIP participants All bird submissions get an individual gel image + interpretation No prior science background needed. Come through, learn something, and bring your birds into the molecular age.
