    i found a clutch of eggs today, obviously laid by 6 different chickens because they were all slightly warm still. When I collected them I noticed a couple had a white film on them. Is this normal?! The eggs seem perfectly fine otherwise. Any ideas what this could be? Also, I tried to wash it...

    Dual purpose chickens?
