I can't imagine washing that many eggs by hand. I don't get more than a dozen a day on a good day. Do you have to wash eggs if they're not dirty? Seems to me a clean nest box keeps eggs clean enough. Mine do.You have to wash for 3 minutes. I can twiddle my thumbs for 5.![]()
I wonder how your fingers would feel after 15+ dozen eggs.
Not always though. I've got a hen that insists on roosting with her butt inside the nest box. I chase her out but she's right back there the next evening.
