How can i tell which hen is laying which eggs?

[Birdman Jr]

I’d like to hatch some of my black sex links eggs, as well as some of my Brahma/Rhode Island reds, but i have no earthly idea of which eggs are theirs. I have mostly silkies and silkie mixes. Is there anyway to tell at this point with all of them laying?

Very Easy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Get food coloring and apply some to the desired hens vent. The eggs from those will have traces of color on them. You may have to reapply, but that you can determine how often by when no longer color shows up on eggs.
Also note that RSL, Brahma, and RIR eggs should be considerably larger than your Silkie mixes, since silkies are a bantam variety.

I would think that would be enough....if you need to segregate amongst the larger eggs, the food coloring(use the gel type) might work. Butt(haha!) I'd rather separate the hens to gather hatching eggs.
