Good morning did not break the membrane I use them.
If it cracks the membrane I will give back to the birds.

Same here.

And if we don't know for sure, we'd scramble it up as a great treat for the birds.

I usually have enough eggs, I feed any that are cracked back to the birds right away.

If I crack it when I'm collecting it, I'll just use it immediately. If a bird cracked it, I'm not sure when it happened or how dirty the appendage they cracked it with was, so I usually just feed it back.

It all depends on how comfortable are you with risk?

Right. Did a beak crack it? Or, more likely, that looks like a crack from a toenail where one of the hens stepped on it. Now think about all the things chickens scratch in all day. To me, that's a definite yuck! If any of that got off the chicken's claw and into the egg, do I want to take a chance on eating that, even if it's fresh? Def not. That egg goes into a container in the freezer to go out with the trash. Me, I would not even feed it to the dogs or chickens. But we all know what a weirdo I am by now.
