Hi,
So my girls have taken to pushing the straw out of the nesting box before laying, so theyre laying on the underneath plywood. So i had six eggs laid the other day, and one was squashed by the time i got to them, so the others were coated with dried yolk. I couldnt wash it off, so i dropped them in a bowl of water already in the sink to soak and promptly forgot about them till the next day. The bowl was an empty dinner dish, so.... no... not completely clean water.
Are they still ok or should i compost them?
And while i have a lip on the nesting boxes, any other advice on keeping the straw in would be appreciated.
Thanks
