Posted October 4, 200618 yr What type of pencil should I use for marking eggs?? I've read 2B or 3B are okay, but I wasn't sure if 2HB and 2B were the same... thanks Alora
October 4, 200618 yr no the hb is is a harder pencil. The soft the better so your not having to press hard on the egg. If you have kids texta pens you can use them, or any non toxic water based pen. 2-3 B would be soft It goes up to 6 B (i believe) and I think the HB is the hardest.
October 4, 200618 yr Both Nerwen and I use water base non toxic markers. I've had no problems with my eggs hatching.
October 5, 200618 yr Great stuff guys...thanks! I used a 3B pencil...I also have a 6B with my art pencils...Are Crayola markers okay? Or Laurentien? We have lots of markers but I wasn't sure it would hurt the chicks or not... Alora
