I don't test my flocks for diseases that can be passed from hen to egg, so if my chickens have an underlying disease that I am unaware of I could easily be passing it to anybody who wants to get hatching eggs from. They do know that I don't test but I would feel horrible if they got chicks that had inherited some kind of disease from mine.
I've been doing some research, and saw where some people dip the eggs in some kind of wash before incubating them (the one I read was about collecting eggs from chickens with mycoplasma and dipping them in this wash.) Has anybody done this? If so, what did you use to make/mix up this wash? Do you just dip the eggs a little or submerge them fully?
TIA
