"Safe" eggs?

Thank you both.

I've been scrambling the dirty eggs and feeding them back to the chickens, shell and all. We have a Maran who can't seem to lay an intact egg no matter the minerals she eats and she consistently baptizes the other eggs with hers.

Some hens will have issues like that, especially as they get older. We have two laying thin shelled eggs right now, which break and make a mess. With more effort on my part, figuring out who they are would be best. And then that 'final solution', also not what I want to do.

This is the egg I found tonight. It was right under the roosts, so ignore the poop. It's the worst that she's layed.
I hate to think of the final solution too, but that may happen when we harvest our meat chickens this fall.

I also have my girls in a different area, so I often visit them on alternate days. I always take and eat any eggs, regardless of the temps. Then they sit on my dining room table until I'm ready to cook them. We haven't had any issues.
