This was the closest topic I could see, hope it's okay.
I was just wondering what y'all do with your eggs after you gather them. I have some friends who used to have lots and lots of chickens and they'd gather eggs in a pail then bring them in and scrub 'em all with soap and warm water. Is this necessary?
We only have 6 hens so we average 3 to 5 eggs a day; they lay all throughout the day and we gather them onsie, twosies. I just bring them in and rinse them in cool water unless there's poo or straw stuck on 'em and then I just scrape it with a fingernail and rinse it away.
Would love to hear your opinions!
Thanks
Mickey
