Let me know what happen with egg that has been washed. My prediction most chicks will die soon after.
 
I happen to work in a chicken barn (breeder barn which ships out 25,000+ eggs twice a week) and we wash eggs all the time by the thousands..doesnt hurt em one bit...rule of thumb no longer than 3 mins in the water.

Liquid egg wash wouldn't exist if it killed eggs/chicks... My four 10week-olds tell me so, as do the developping eggs in my bator...

I did quite a lot of experimenting with washing/not washing eggs. I found that eggs washed in a hot dilute bleach solution (totally submerged for over a minute, scrubbed, rinsed off under water hot enough to burn your hands) had a much higher hatch rate than unwashed eggs. So now I wash every single egg I set. I've never had a chick die after hatching, never had to assist any to hatch, never had any get sick as chicks, never had any get sick as adults.

I don't know where some folk get their ideas from, really I don't.

So, what percentage of bleach do you use? (sez the girl with ... erm ... 3doz eggs coming next week, plus more, maybe, and who is not opposed to increasing her hatch rate)
