Greetings from College Station! I don't wash my eggs unless they look dirty, but I do cook them before eating.

Hello

and Welcome to BYC! Rhode Island Reds seem to be a popular duel purpose breed, Delawares, Sussex, Orpingtons, and Rocks are some other populuar ones. Henderson's Chicken Breed chart compares a lot of popular breeds. http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html#j

Great source - welcome to BYC.

Hi! Greetings from San Antonio! I raise Jersey Giants in my coop. They are large, hardy, meaty birds that take a while to mature , but their large eggs and meat are worth the care and wait. As for the eggs...don't do much other than dust them off if too dirty. I generally get them from the nests and place in the fridge until ready to eat. Good luck!
