Cleaning eggs.

Recommended Posts

I know you shouldn't wash eggs but one of my girls poos in the nest regularly and by the time I get home from work they can sometimes be quite messy. As it's all dried on I can't rub off with a dry paper towel as has been suggested. I tend to use a damp cloth and dry them straight away. I have noticed that Delia's eggs take on a spotty bloom after a few days. Do you think this is bacteria entering the egg causing the bloom?

My hens love to sleep in their nestboxes :roll: . Consequently, their eggs are sometimes a little bit pooey :vom: . I just wipe it off with an ever-so-slightly damp cloth if I can't get it off with a dry one. There's some reason why you shouldn't wash eggs but I don't know the full story I'm afraid.
