I need to see the sapphire blue one! Which breed lays that?

I sell the clean ones, the dog gets the dirtiest ones, we use the slightly dirty ones and I wash them before using. I had one EE and I only found out about a year later that one customer threw out her pretty green egg when they got one in the carton “because the green ones have gone bad”. Thanks dr Seuss!

Some people just don't know about egg coloring I guess.
Throwing away green eggs? How sadly ignorant. I know people like that as well!

 

[pennyJo1960]

Have to be total dimwit to throw out eggs because they colored

Sorry to say 80 percent of people are dimwits! I'm an educator! It's a very tiring job

I refrigerate the eggs unless I'm gonna incubate them. I don't have control over how old the eggs are before I use them, so it make me feel safe. The gooey ones gets boiled and served to the dogs or back to the chickens. Have too many eggs anyway, so don't bother washing and cleaning.

I sell my eggs to coworkers and I was and refrigerate. I know washing takes the bloom off and I refrigerate mainly for convenience and safety off the egg. My cat pushes everything off the counter when I'm not home. I understand that eggs are not washed or refrigerated in Europe and when my sister lived there milk was not pasteurized either, her kids got really sick.

Dunno where in Europe your sister was (it's, like, 40 countries), but in my country milk is pasteurized, it's up to each producer if they want to wash/rinse eggs for sale or not, and people usually put their eggs in the fridge.

Do you handle fertilized eggs differently? I have been putting them in fridge unclean to stop the fertilization process but that was just a guess.

I don’t wash. I just refrigerate.
