I have been vigilant about collecting eggs this week (I am wanting to set a batch next week) but today I was gone most the day. By the time I got home all 3 hens had laid in the same box. Of course the egg I needed must have been the first one laid because it was the only dirty one. It appears to be mud and not poop...and not much of it. I tried to flake some off with my fingernail, and tried to wipe lightly with a paper towel, but this is as good as it gets.
I am short on breeders; so desperate for eggs otherwise I wouldn't consider it. Is this egg too dirty to incubate?
