Okay, so even though the shell is porous, it doesn't hurt to use a sharpie? The last thing I need are chicks hatching with a moustache!!!!!!

I've used the sharpie with no problem. I've also used the sharpie and pencil while they were under a chicken. That didn't work at all it rubs off from the hen. Crayon may not rub off. I may try crayon next time I let chickens hatch.

Has anyone tried a wax pencil (the type used when marking glass)? It seems like that might work...

I have a cockeral that started as a dark brown chick with a white chest splash who has grown out to be a Chocolate Silver Duckwing Olive Egger. He is from a Maran/EE or Am cross and F2 generation. But I just noticed today that his earlobes are PINK! Comb and wattles all the normal red but he has pink earlobes. Have any of you seen pink earlobes before. I will try to get a picture tomorrow.
