Toe punching is a method of marking a young bird to identify what breeding or other trait of the parents you want to track. With the Toe Punch you place a whole in the web between the toes. Each web is assigned to something you can track such as pen number, or if you have two roos and or two hens you can assign the one foot to the roosters and one to the hens and punch one web for which rooster etc. The whole does not grow closed so you can mark them at hatch and identify them through to adulthood.

I'm trying to start a small flock of EEs and was hoping to get at least one Olive Egger out of these eggs. We'll see if I can get anything to hatch out of them. I bet those Blue Copper roosters must be good-looking.

I expect to have some hatching eggs and some chicks from all our birds available at POOPS. I've asked my husband, Gerald to take pictures of our birds and eggs tomorrow, so hopefully I can post them soon. I've got lots of eggs that need to go in the incubator, so I'd better hurry and get off the computer!

So do you just use a paper punch, sorry I had never heard of this before

LOL. I will definitely be sharing the love if I see one of those crawling out of the egg.

It's a big "if", but I hoping the USPS left something alive for me. And then someone else can love it and hug it and pet it and name it George.
