I wash mine because I have to in order to legally sell them. Part of the requirements for having my CA egg handler's license,

I can understand that.

I don't wash mine either unless they somehow get really dirty, and that is only before usage.

Really? I have always washed my eggs...I can't stand giving people dirty eggs.

Sick chick is continuing to improve! And the one that got into our first dog fight? Couldn’t tell. I’ve downloaded some coop/nesting box plans and my boys have decided to take on the project! I’ll hopefully just supervise and provide payment. And I ordered more chicks last night. A whole mess of pullets this time! Now just have to figure out what to do with my cockerels. lol

Oh I understand that. My eggs are normally not dirty at all. Only if a chicken happens to walk in something on her way to the box and has poo all over her feet. If I give eggs to anybody, I make sure they are clean ones (I'll keep the more dirty ones if there are any) and I always tell them to give them a rinse off before using, even if they look "clean".

Depending on the state, people that are NPIP are required to wash and sterilize their hatching eggs before they incubate them.

I've been thinking about doing some sort of egg dip before setting. I want to see if it lessens the problems I am having with my Buffs.

 

[StonerChick]

IF that’s the route I choose... at what age should we cull?

 

[FortCluck]

Yes. I gather hatching eggs to order and don't wash them and don't refrigerate them.

I can’t wait to get my first quail egg. It’ll be a while from now though because I lost those 2 quail and got left with a male I think.

I was doing 50 peroxide 50 water and it seemed to help my friends eggs because I didn’t do it this time and the hatch rate was so bad that I won’t even say what it was.
