Feeding eggs back to chickens

[pgoker]

I've fed the chicken eggs back to my flock every once in awhile (if I crack a shell before washing), but I washed my duck eggs on Wednesday evening & forgot to place them in the fridge. Are they safe to scramble for the chickens or should I just throw them out?
Thanks!!

Hi, welcome to BYC!

They should be perfectly safe. I feed the shells back to.

They'll be fine

You can keep eggs on the counter for a few weeks without them going bad. They don't go bad as easy as you think.

There's nothing wrong with the eggs. You can eat them yourself, but if you do feed them to the chickens just boil them and chop them up shells and all.

while true, I think ops specific concern is the eggs have been washed, removing the bloom, which can create some concerns

That was my concern, they've sat on the counter for 2 days. Is it ok for the chickens or just toss?

They're safe for cooking and feeding, yes.
