Today we are going to be talking about the controversial topic on washing your chicken's eggs!

Are you the tough guy, rub some dirt on it kind of person that just cracks them open without cleaning them?

Well, after this video you might think twice about that. Not washing your chicken's fresh eggs will expose you to bacteria that can leave you curled up in a ball near the toilet or WORSE in the hospital.

Chicken's lay eggs and excrete excrements through the same hole which is why this is very dangerous.

Overall, we are going to be showing you the best ways to wash your chickens egss if you are deciding to use them immediately or store them.

We are also going to be talking about the shelf life of these eggs (non-refrigerated) before tossing them or putting them in the fridge.

I’m a German descendant and we don’t wash eggs because there is a protective protein on the shell that prevents spoilage and allows eggs to sit on the counter for maybe 3 weeks. I said maybe because they don’t sit that long before someone cooks them up. Once you wash your eggs they must be refrigerated!

I live in England. Our eggs are not washed. They are on normal shelves in the shops and you can keep them in your kitchen on the counter or in the fridge. No one suffers any problems health wise and eggs last weeks.

Moral of the story read comments before you watch video.
I agree with the majorities sentiment.
Once you’ve washed the egg you can’t leave them out on the counter, they must be refrigerated, including the shelf life is shorter.
Only wash the egg right before cooking if need be.

"Create a crisis" and you get I'm here :)
I'm 72 and never washed an egg nor did my parents (died in their 80's)
Folks, they didn't mention it here, but be sure to wear a Covid mask and long sleeve gloves when washing your eggs !
Shower after, as well

This is hilarious to real people who have had chickens and eggs for many years. Bless your worried little hearts.

[JacquelineHahn]

made it to my late 50s not washing my eggs and only wash if very dirty before use.
I think many Americans are losing their natural immunity and sometimes their minds. How on earth do you think people managed for thousands of years to use and store their eggs without lots of running water and refrigeration? These days when going online for recipes I avoid American ones and use Australian or European and Asian. I am sure eggs were designed with the bloom to protect the contents

We have kept chickens for over 25 years. We never wash the eggs until we use them, and keep them on the counter in cartons, pointy end down, for weeks. The only time I refrigerate fresh eggs, is if I'm trying to get fall eggs to last long enough to make sure i have eggs for holiday baking, because the girls might not be laying enough by then.
We have learned to crack eggs into a bowl before adding to the pan or mixing bowl, in case of the rare problem egg.

It's not a must. We grew up with chickens and we never washed their eggs.

[aztec]

We have had lightly soiled eggs and we keep them in a basket. I have only washed off eggs if they are too soiled. We have never had a problem.

[oldasdirt]

I respectfully disagree with you. The whole world keeps fresh eggs out of the refrigerator and always has.

And this is why younger people have no immune system. I’m 68 and have eaten unwashed eggs all my adult life. I’ve also drank raw milk, homemade butter, things right out of the garden without washing. Drank from the hose walked barefoot. I’m not sick when everyone else is. If the eggs are dirty wipe them off with a damp towel.

[johnking]

After four thousand years if you haven't figured it out now rocks 🤪🤪🤪

[baddogcustoms]

I’m undecided about this message really. I mean back when we were kids we used to walk around barefoot, and guess what that made us stronger and more immune to the common illnesses, one reason why I never get sick. I have my own chickens and they lay an absurd amount of eggs & everyone around me eats my fresh eggs and they’re all healthier now than they’ve ever been. Typically a healthy hen does not poop on her eggs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wash my eggs under tap water just before cooking.
I do this whether it came from the supermarket or straight from a hen.
We mess things up in the US by "sanitizing" them before they reach the supermarket.

Keep your coop and nesting box clean and Do NOT wash your eggs. Removing the bloom will let bacteria in 🙄. In most countries besides north America don't wash their eggs.

Bloom protects eggs on counter for a very long time. Always point - down. I leave mine out for up to a month. They are delicious.
Wash in moderate temp water. I capful of wash in a large brown of water. I leave the oldest eggs for between 30 minutes to hours. Then, I rinse them between my fingers in my bare hands and lay them on a towel before placing them in cartons in my frig.
My eggs rarely have poop because the coop is monitored daily for cleanliness and in winter months never scoop. Just mulch deeper.

I'm 79 years old! Grew up on a farm in Northern Saskatchewan. Walked around with a nail in my pocket. Whenever I got hungry I would find my way to the chicken coop, take an egg from the nest, poke a hole at each end of the egg then sucked the egg out of the shell. Also would into the garden, pull out a carrot or a potato, wipe the dirt off on my jeans and chomp them down. I am seldom sick with a cold or a flu. Last time I had a flu was at least 10 years ago. Keep this in mind: humans came through at least 100 million years of evolution before there ever were english speaking scientist or know-it-alls.

good advice for our younger gens that haven't had our amount of natural vaccines such as life in general. i don't have all the weird food allergies, phobias, people have and i have cracked eggs with straw and poop fresh from the coop that the shell fell into the pan, pull it out, i am alive and good.

In NZ 🇳🇿 our eggs are all free range and come as they've come out if the chook. Poo, feathers and all. Keep them in a cool cupboard. And we just crack them. Sometimes wash poo and and feathers off if too much. But I make raw egg and cream icecream and no one has ever been sick.

[Ozarkmountainoutback]

I never wash my eggs unless they're very dirty. Actually the bloom protects things from going in. In fact you can push bacteria in.
