keeping track of who hatched

[joe17]

I just got eggs from Bobbi Porto and they are marked with the dads name on them. I recorded the names and was wondering, how am I supposed to keep track of all of that stuff when they hatch.

I also mark the bottoms of the eggs so I know which ones hatched.

you can put little separators in the incubator to keep chicks separated and then mark them with food coloring on their down if need be.

I have seen some pics of people who use little leg bands to identiy chickies that hatch so they know who is who.

How do I make dividers? I would make a few and put all the eggs with the same dad in the same section. But say I have 6 hatching all with diff dads. When I would go and check on them then I would have no idea which dad was for each chick! They would get mixed up. I could open the bator and hurry and mark them because of humidity.
