Washing eggs

[quailmann]

Hi all

So I have my quail on deep litter now. The eggs are getting dirty and hard to clean. I sell some in a few stores and I don't think I'll go too far with dirty eggs

Is there a cheap solution to wash eggs? Something I can make at home and quite inexpensive will be great

I have heard it destroys the bloom but factory eggs are ALL washed aren't they?

Any advise appreciated

I just get a rag and rinse the eggs in cold water.

They make egg washing towelettes that have oils on them. The oil that coats the egg protects it just like the natural bloom does.

Thanks I was wondering about them. I will be bringing some to work as I get more girls laying and they haven't learned to lay in their boxes and tend to have some poopieness that will detract from the appeal. I will get some ordered from RandallBurkey...

2crows - Any product that is available in the market?

Riley - Any idea of shelf life If rinsed?

I use these on my eggs I sell to the public. One towel will clean a dozen chicken eggs or a couple dozen quail eggs....

If you wash eggs with other products that do not seal the egg, the eggs should be used or incubated in one weeks time.
