Unwashed too - having washed some the chances are you shortened their
shelf life as the protective finish of the egg is removed which allows
bugs in


How do you clean eggs without washing them? Most of my eggs are clean
as many of the girls lay in their nestboxes, but some lay on the floor, or
occasionally a soft-shelled one gets smashed when a hen goes in to lay.
Customers don't mind a little bit of egg yolk on the shell, but chicken poop
is a little different story :-) . I've been washing the eggs in warm water
(no soap), but I know what you mean, the "film" I can feel on the eggs gets
washed off when I do this.
