I've recently started buying eggs from a farm and they are always dirty.
It
is a toss up IMO as whether I want an egg that is washed by some egg farm
because I've read different stories about the efficacy of washing eggs,
and
also the harmful effects from washing them.

I generally don't wash the eggs, but am very tidy about breaking them,
washing up around where they've been, and I do make sure they reach the
temperature of 173º. Tonight I brought home two dozen -- two very large
ones had a little broken area where the carton broke them -- I hated to
throw them out, but knew that I must. I'm sure they were this morning's
eggs and they had been in an ice chest all day, but I understand this is
the
prudent thing to do.

Dee, I, too, get eggs from a farmer who has free run. That stuff you
see on them is chicken sh-- :) and definitly needs to be washed
before the egg is cracked.<G> There is a natural protective fillm on
the egg shell so I leave mine in the covered carton or container until
ready to use, then wash with soap and water with a bit of chlorox and
rinse well, dry off then crack or boil the egg. Use them for any
purpose, cooked or raw.
over 70 years and so far lucky.

Thanks, Leo, I know chicken sh-- when I see it and always have -- raised on
a farm. I have a lot of material on how to wash, what temperature, etc.
But the "natural protective film" is what I wish to keep, so I like what you
say about keeping it intact. I do think-twice about keeping these dirty
eggs in my refrigerator -- do you always keep them in the refrig? I buy a
doz a week (this week I bought two dozen - two of us), and I think they
would probably last in the kitchen at 73º that long, but I worry about that,
too. The whole house stays at 73º temperature; too many critters to put
them outside.
70 years and so far, so lucky, too.
