There are a number of issues with this.

1. There is no source for this. If this is how they were makriv the
korban pesach you would think someone would explain this.

2. How does marking the wool help? The Korban was skinned in the Beis
Hamikdash so after skinning how would the shliach identify the animals?

3. How would the shliach carry out the dead animals? How many dead sheep
can one man carry?

Does that really help? Do you think that the eimurim of 1.2 million
animals could all be burned on the mizbeach even by morning?
