    How do you mark your chicks??

    Sorry didn't explain myself very well, all the egg batches are marked, its the chicks I really want to identify as they will be in the same brooder etc after they hatch. Sorry for not explaining very well

    How do you mark your chicks??

    H all just wondering what you do to tell different batches apart, in my incubator I have 3 lots of lavender pekin eggs from different sources and want to be able to mark them as they hatch, I know I'll miss some but hope to get a few!! Any ideas would be great. Many thanks dani
