Okay everyone - I bought a rubber stamp handle with a custom saying on it for my egg cartons, however, I practiced using it on some of my eggs to see what it would look like. From the information I have gathered, I will not continue to use the ink pad to stamp my eggs, HOWEVER, I want to know...
Also, regarding the white hen pictured in my first original post of this thread, i gave her three fertile eggs because I noticed she was fighting to sit on the ones that FiFi (black hen from original post) was already setting on. She went over to the three i put in there immediately and tucked...

There is a lip on all of them now, this was taken while he was out cutting the wood actually haha. Thanks for your response! The egg was actually broken and eaten in the box she laid it in. I’m hoping it broke accidentally and she just decided to eat it then!
