I'm sure the big egg producers were worried about the publics health.

That's a wise man, right there

I don't remember exactly it was in the info the local farmers market gave me. I believe it was between 33 and 50 degrees. The people who sell at the farmers market have mobile fridges that run off their truck battery.

Do any of you folks wash your eggs? I was not planning on it. Unless they are dirty of course.

I often have to cause ducks are little piggies and lay everywhere. If they aren't dirty I don't though.

Do you know what temp is considered "cool"? In the UK it's illegal to wash eggs or to put them in a fridge.

I have never heard that, and I wish more people knew. I never, ever refridgerate my eggs, and I think that's what puts uneducated people off about them. They see them on the counter, and they think "Oh my god, they'll spoil". Then you have to explain to them that since you aren't washing them in a commercial scrubber with 8 million other eggs, they will actually keep on the counter for 3 months, six in the fridge.

So I found a rule here in WV.

A small egg producer is any person marketing 150 dozen eggs or less per week of his/her own production. As a small producer you must register with the state but you are exempt from paying permit or inspection fees.

I yeah we in the usa are brainwashed that leaving eggs out spoils them. You can leave eggs on the counter for weeks with no issue, months if you put mineral oil on them.

Same here. If they are dirty it's best to rub them with a dry cloth but avoid water. Do you know the US is the only other country besides one other (I forget which one) to wash & refrigerate eggs? And that makes the price go up because they have to be transported cold & kept cold. Sometimes this country makes things harder then they have to be.

I never wash incubating eggs at all. I will wash heavily soiled eating eggs, or eggs that I know someone will be refridgerating and eating soon. If I keep my nesting fresh, normally the eggs don't need anything, unless it has been raining

I told you it was a very large quantity. You don't even have to register here for small scale. If you sell to a store or restaurant you do, but the state has to provide the inspection and license free of charge
