You do know that food we buy from the grocery store also has an allowable level of everything from poop to rat hair and other sorts of stuff in it don't you? So even if you wash your eggs your probably eating poo or God knows what else in your breakfast cereal. And if your washing your eggs at the wrong temp your are causing them to suck bacteria and whatever else is present on the eggshell right through the pores of the eggshell into your food.The people in Europe are still alive after eating grocery store eggs that are unwashed and usually stored at room temp... so I'm sure the people here at BYC will survive as well. Also I don't think chickens are any nastier than any other animal we have living with us especially if you keep a tidy coop like myself.People let their cats sleep on furniture and walk on kitchen counters after their feet have been in a poopy litter box. Dogs come in and sleep on furniture dragging whatever they've stepped in into the house all over your floors and as an added bonus when they find something dead to roll in they bring that in also on their fur. They also love giving kisses to people right after eating or licking something disgusting and no one really seems to mind. I'm not sure why would it bother you so much that you would attempt to shame or scold the other posters here about their egg practices anyway, No one is telling you not to wash yours. They are just presenting options and information to the thread starter so they can decide what's comfortable for them.
