Just a pencil.

I mark dates on our eggs with a rubber stamp. The stamp has bands so you can change the date. I have an ink pad that I have loaded with food grade ink. It is the kind of ink that is used to print on meat and cheese. I have never hatched any eggs so I don't know about that but I eat the eggs that have been date coded.

I use fine point sharpies & pencil. When I collect eggs all they eggs get labeled in pencil then before I put them in I relabel them with a sharpie.

I agree. I've found that these birds (we have chickens, turkeys and ducks), both pre and post hatch are CONSIDERABLY less fragile than we were led to believe from posts and books.

There is no lead in a pencil.

I doubt anyone would let children use them if they did. I chew my drawing pencils! lol

Even though it's called pencil lead, it is actually charcoal!

I always thought it was graphite. Whatever it is, I use it too.
