What did you mark your eggs with? That is easy to read!

Sharpie

Have you used sharpie before on successful hatches? I am about to mark mine and do not want to ad anymore risk factors. Thanks!

Yes.

Although, I did breathe a big sigh of relief the other day when amazondoc posted that she uses a Sharpie as well.

eta: and if she does it, then it must be okay!

I've used a Sharpie and had great hatches, but I've switched to Crayola non-toxic washable markers, they have worked great and they come in waaaaaay more colors than the sharpies and they are less expensive.

I haven't had any issues with the marker washing or wearing off but it probably would if a person was using a broody hen instead of an incubator.

Ok I'm locked and loaded

but in the end, I was only able to fit 18 eggs in. I think Marans eggs are too wide to fit more.

Anyone have 5 quail eggs they want me to hatch for them?
