Cleaning and storing fresh eggs

But I believe that the first image shown should be half eggs getting washed and half eggs being left natural. Or even no image at all.
As a skim-reader my first thought when I opened this article was “Oh, I guess I should wash my eggs!” after seeing said picture. I believe an unbiased article such as this should have images of both sides or no images at all.

They never last this long at our house.

Well written, concise, and to the point. Loved it!

I did not know that you can store eggs without refrigeration for such a long time.
The idea of harvesting clean eggs is good, but won't work with ducks! I explained my ducks so many times the purpose of those boxes in their house - the ignore them and lay their eggs wherever they just pop out.

Did not know about keep good for 1 month outside refrigeration. Thank you.

Great article, concise, informative, and perfect for us new to the club. Thanks much.

Excellent and sensible advice. I've seen those egg wipes - always felt they were an expensive waste of money. Glad you didn't mention them in the article.
I'd rather keep the bloom on my eggs if there's just a small muddy smear on the shell. Generally if you keep a clean coop you'll have clean eggs that don't need washing. We really only have dirty eggs when we have heavy rain storms & everything gets muddy! Then I wash, dry and refrigerate the eggs.

Simple and to the point! Great information for those just starting out

Interesting article!

Thank you! Very helpful information

I never wash my eggs, I just crack them poop side up.

If you have hens that lay eggs, this may be some good information for you to decide whether cleaning eggs is right for you, and how you want to store them.

And information!!!

I love having the information about commercial egg. I think a lot of people are amazed to hear this.

Preparing for our pullets to lay in a few months. So much to learn. In an age of overwhelming information on every possible bacteria, virus, parasite, etc., that can afflict us, or our flocks, as we try to provide healthy to our families, I really appreciate sensical articles like this!

That "egg slide" is pretty cool if you have a few chickens

Thank you for the information. Informative and with sources! This helped me a lot.
