Sorry if this is a stupid question but do you have to use a special type of pen to write the dates on the eggs? I just wondered if a normal felt tip pen is poisonous or anything?

I actually just eat them quite quickly, as one chook only lays once or twice a week and the other probably 5 out of 7, so I usually get 7 eggs a week the other 2 are silkies and as far as i know, not laying yet, but when they start I'll probably be lucky to get 3 a week from either of them!
