Well I usually mark which eggs came from which sellers anyways so this time instead of a seller name I just put the egg's name instead. I usually either build little divider baskets, for different sellers and that has worked in the past. I also livestream fun hatches so I can see who is hatching and when (how would I get any sleep otherwise haha) so typically I can see "oh the dark chick with the yellow feet hatched from "tworedbarns" and I band them accordingly. BUT with individual chicks... I am still figuring that out. I am also a bit of a early bird when it comes to taking them out of the incubator, I have an Rcom so the heat and humidity pop back up after it is opened within 15 seconds, so I have never waited long after chicks hatch to get them out and into a brooder, or a separate incubator. I have had way too many unhatched chicks get rolled out of position by hatched chicks before so that helps prevent that. I have wing banded chicks in the past and that might be the route i go this time since each band has its own number, but I prefer to wait until they are a couple weeks old to wing band. maybe I will have to use multiple colors of leg bands until they are old enough to wing band. hmm, worst case scenario I will just have to make up who is who on the spot. haha.
