Is it safe to write on eggs (date of lay)?

If so what type of pen/ink should I use?

I use a chinograph pencil if I can't find that  :roll: I  use a 2B.

any old pencil will do ,.but i use a felt tip

Thanks,

Wasn't sure what to use.  Didn't want to go poisoning people when they are eaten (Only have two and just for eggs and general entertainment of my next door neighbour).

I use pencil to mark eggs but use it to say which breeding pen they have come out of. I always write on the top of the egg, because if you do it around the middle thats exactly where  the chicks chip out and you lose the writing.
