To wash or not to wash eggs? That is the ?

Sometimes my eggs are disgusting. Poop and sometimes broken egg so yolk and hay from nesting boxes stuck on them. I read not to wash eggs because they have film on them which helps keep out bacteria.

Also some of my neighbors are English and keep eggs on the counter (not refrigerated). Any advice?
