Hi I'm looking for a laboratory that test Oocyan (blue egg gene) in chickens through feather our blood. I found one in Miami but one in Canada would be better (since I'm from Brazil and have relatives living there). Thank you and God bless
 
I found another place that does the testing, but it is in South Africa (so my apologies that this information may not be useful for you, but in case someone else reads this thread.) There is a company called ZooOmics. I didn't find the test on their website, but I emailed them and they confirmed that they had the Oocyan test available.

This is what the email said:
