I started marking chickens because of the same reason. I had two broodies and was new to chickens. The first time I let both groups out to free range, I was an idiot and let them out to meet their new flockmates🙄. The two moms had a battle and never really got along well after that. When I broke up the fight, I wasnt sure which mom was which. I picked wrong. Then I started marking birds. Soon after I came across Permies😀👍
