I find it very hard to put the egg back into the shell after checking for the bulls-eye. This makes it hard to sell to my customers. So I simply tell them they are eggs gathered daily from my own chickens, which free range with a rooster in my back yard, so they are most likely fertilized.

I even tell those who are interested WHICH chickens laid which eggs. (Rebecca lays the green eggs, Bernadette lays the really dark ones, the white ones are Minerva's or Millicent's, the pale pinkish-tan eggs came from Lacey, the regular brown ones are Greta's, Buffy lays the nearly white ones, and Matilda's are these, here, which look a lot like Lacey's.)

What a job! I only know a few from each other, I only have brown layers right now my leghorns and EEs aren't laying yet.

In my opinion no they should not be soaked. eggs are very porus(sp) so everything on the shell and in the water is soaking into the eggs. kinda like going to the bathroom in a swiming pool.

If it is only a little bit i take a piece of sandpaper to get it off. the really bad ones go to the dogs.

Good eggs can float too different eggs can have different sized air cells. The amount of bloom on the egg determines how fast the whites evaporate out. just because an egg floats doesnt mean it is bad.

LOL

I tell my customers who laid what as well, they kind of look like I might be crazy but they are also charmed by it all.

No reason you can't. I do every single day.
To the OP - perhaps you missed one or (better chance IMO) the customer mistook something naturally occuring like the chalazae and mistook it for embryo development?
I don't wash my eggs, but I do refrigerate. Thankfully all my egg customers are country folk who know what a farm fresh egg can look like.

I wonder this also - or a meat spot?
