Dirty eggs

[rjohns39]

I have gotten a few where it looked like someone pecked it a little to hard, not ruptured but a hole in the shell, I throw those away, but I have 2 right now that have slight cracks in them but you can't see the inner membrane so wondered if that was still enough to "ruin" it. Thanks

When I get a cracked or pecked egg, I just move it to the front of the line to eat. If I see something that concerns me, i'll just send it to the compost pile. I've taken to cracking my eggs into a separate bowl one at a time because ducks are notorious for hiding eggs. Imagine an egg that's been in 100 degree heat for a week or two.

I started cracking in separate bowl one at a time too. Seen too many weird things on this site!

Thank you all, when clutzy chickens acciendtly crack a egg open the yolk and white dry almost impossible to remove without washing. I have been refrigerating then immediately after drying. Again thank you all

I am new to this also and I very rarely get poop on an egg but today I did get one and it was fresh because she had just laid it I just took a dry rag and wiped it off… Is it still good to use? It's about the size of a nickel
