I've been putting one bird in each of the two cages we have and I leave her in there with food and water until she lays an egg. So far three girls have laid light brown eggs, which wasn't what I was expecting. Right now I've been checking the black and white speckled girls that came from Clyde's hatching last spring. They all look very similar so I needed a way to be able to tell them apart once I figure out what color eggs they are laying.
It only seemed natural that I go with a finger nail painting method until I find something that's more long-term. I tried white polish on the first girl, but the next morning I could barely tell which one she was, so I had to go to something a little more bright.
Just another adventure on the farm.
