Answer 1

I doubt. =]

Answer 2

why do you need to keep track of which egg is which? It should be fine however, what sort of marker did you use?

Answer 3

hahahahah, it wont effect them!

Answer 4

If it's nontoxic marker then you should be okay, although carefully rubbing a number on them using a pencil is probably a better alternative as the graphite can't soak into things the way marker can; using pencil to mark eggs is a common practice among farmers. For certain you don't want to use permanent or erasable markers or highlighters, I'm not sure how that would affect unhatched eggs but fumes of any kind can be very bad for birds, so at least for the sake of the mother and/or father, you want to stay away from those.

Answer 5

She's incubating them.

The egg would crack when its time to hatch.

Answer 6

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You must be a crazy fat lady with no friends if you have time for that.

Answer 7

Hi,

Ink is poisonous to the chicks inside so you have probably ruined your hopes of breeding.

Budgie eggs are extremely porous and are fragile ink will kill developing chicks as well if you handle the eggs then this will kill the chicks in the egg so leave well alone.

Answer 8

THOSE BIRDS GON' DIE!
