Can I wash the magic marker off their heads, if so How??

[HaileyandJoliesMom]

My babies came in Saturday and the EE's were marked so we knew who was who. Can I wash the red off their heads or would it be best to leave it one them?

Who would use magic marker on them?

Unless it is permanent marker it will wear off.

Even permanent marker will wear off. I had four BR and we put a small dot on each one's foot (4 different colors). After about a month we had to repeat it b/c it faded.

I think the stress on the chick from trying to wash or remove the mark would be too much. The mark will fade in a couple weeks or less when they lose their baby fuzz.

Probably but why? The marker won't hurt them and getting wet might hurt them so I see no point in trying.

 

[HaileyandJoliesMom]

If it will stress them then I wont. Just curious I guess.

ETA= they were marked by Mcmurray so Im not sure what type of marker it is. We had them marked because someone ordered with us and wanted EE's, and we wanted to be able to identify everyone.

I marked one of mine to track his progress as he grew and developed, and it faded so quickly that I lost track of him......


...long story...he wasn't supposed to make it (and he and I proved them Nay-Sayers wrong)....


..in short...don't worry about it...
