I think it would be useful to have a DNA genetic sequence to know the genetics my chicken possesses

For my purposes, it would resolve some of the color questions surrounding my breed (Cream Legbar) which is autosexing - so I pretty much know the sex on hatch day.

ETA Whoo HOO - just read your sig...big congratulations on regaining your health - and having all the fun of stall cleaning and chicken breeding to look forward to.

I have two interests in DNA testing, and I don't know if either is possible so I am here to learn.

1) Can you test a black bird to see if it is split for lavender?

2) Can you test a rooster to see if he carries the brown egg gene?
From what others have said on other thread I think the answer is NO. It was explained that the reason it cannot be tested is because there are un-documented brown genes. Therefore, my question is: can we test for the known brown genes? The reason I ask is because I want to test to see if my Cream Legbar(s) roosters are throwing tinted green eggs.
