Has anyone ever set dyed eggs????
My hens always put extra eggs in the nests with their sisters who are setting.
Is there a way to quickly tell which is the "new" egg from the eggs that are in process of being incubated by the hen?
Marking them still requires a closer look and I'd rather not be disturbing the hen so much, I'd like to just quickly be able to recognize the "set" eggs.
Can I color the eggs a wild color and then set the hen, thus knowing when I see a normal colored egg to remove it???
Just wondering if the food color would harm the chick at all?
Thanks for any and all replies.
