I am doing a victory dance, because we found two little eggs in our hen house tonight. I wasn't expecting eggs yet, as our chicks are only 15 weeks old, and I expected a longer wait. Anyway, now what? Do I wash them before refrigerating? Leave them on the counter? I'm a novice and not sure what is best. We do have a rooster, so if they are fertilized, should I do something different? Also, the hens layed the eggs on the floor of the coop under the perches instead of in the nesting box. How do I train them to lay in the nesting box or does it really matter? Any advice is appreciated.
