2 things...first, I LOVE when celebs raise chickens, unless it's that Kate plus 8 chick...she gags me.
I've heard of the lipstick method, how does one use food coloring? I need to keep track of 2 hens...I don't have lipstick (just glosses and lip balm) so the food coloring would be better. Put it on a q-tip and smear it?
OMG! I just had visions of you out there talking to your girls and smearing lipstick around their vents
. It would probably work, I just haven't heard that one before and found it very humorous, sorry. Ok, food coloring method. Drop a drop at a time onto her vent, she will suck it right up in like she does when a roo mates her. Give her a good 10 drops. It should leave fine streaks on the egg. The girl I did it to looked like somebody ever so lightly just ran a blue colored pencel down the egg.
I'm glad I am not the only one who lets their minds wander!
Okay...how long does the food coloring method last? Days? Does it affect the embryo? I'm kind of more turned off to the "sucking up" part of using food coloring on the girls. The lipstick method may just be more appealing. Now to go buy the right shade for the girls...
