I have read a number of threads about eggs and whether or not to clean them as well as discussions on how long eggs are good at room temperature. However I just got back from a 2 week trip back home and I came back to 27 turd covered eggs. Apparently the guy taking care of my flock didn't want any eggs and my chickens have a bad habit of pooping in the nesting box. It's usually not an issue when I am around because I check for eggs daily. What is everyone's thought on whether to trash them or not. I washed every single one with water and now how them in the fridge. The white ones are still not so white.
They would still be good, however by washing them you have removed the bloom meaning they will only be good for about two to three more weeks. I would use them first.
I eat eggs that have had poop on them all the time, but I'd probably not eat those. They're probably fine, especially if the weather was cold-ish, but I'm just not sure I'd be that hungry. If you are, just float test them and crack them into a separate bowl before you use them. If you discard them, don't just trash them, feed them to the birds, dogs or cats, whatever you have around.
