I recently got eggs from someone that were absolutely filthy. I wish I had taken pics of them, they were that bad. I wiped them down to remove the excess mud, poop, etc off of them but the shells were really grungy.
Well just as I thought, none of the eggs that I bought from this person hatched. Most developed blood rings within 10 days and the rest that were fertile died in less than 2 weeks.
Although I can't positively say that the cause for so many early deaths was the filthiness of the eggs, I'm sure it contributed to it. What is the best way to clean eggs like this? Or should I not even bother and just toss them because they're such a lost cause?
