OMG You are not going to believe this....

welll

then again you just might

We have kept the day ranging ducks and chickens in We have 6 very large predator birds flying and sitting in our Pine trees just 50feet from our coop. Well there has been a hen pacing like crazy the corner by the pen door.

As soon as Noah goes to feed and water them again this evening that hen darts out, she goes right to our old central air unit.


This is why we have not gotten many straight Cuckoo Marans eggs this last couple of weeks.

So Dh and I got the pet carrier put it in the duck/chicken shed with fresh straw in it. Then we rounded the hen back in and gathered all the eggs.

So here she is getting the eggs in order.

Question Can I mark these eggs with something other than a pencil and not harm the developing chick? I wish to remove any new ones, so Anyone have suggestions???

Thanks

Karan

WOOHOO go mama chicken!! You can mark the eggs with a crayon or a pen. I wouldn't use anything that smells real strong. I alway's use a crayon and make sure that I make the mark dark enough so that it want wear off.
