    Really dirty hatching eggs

    Been so excited about eggs i ordered from a breeder. Got them today and one broke in the box. Some are REALLY dirty. I have never washed eggs except maybe for eating. These eggs were real expensive. Put em in dirty, or listerine and water wash?

    Worst hatch ever!
