    DO wash them shortly before eating, though – they come out the chicken’s “universal back hole”.

        They sometimes crack when boiling, and I don’t want my hardboiled eggs in water with dissolved excrements

      As someone who has been eating eggs out of our own production for several years now:

      I’ve never washed an egg. Ever. When we get eggs from our hens, we mark them with the date and they go into the fridge. When we want to eat them, we take them out and do whatever is required.

      We mainly consume eggs in boiled, fried and scrambled form, but also sometimes in a carbonara pasta, where they’ll get heated but not cooked.

      None of us have ever gotten sick from consuming those eggs, in whichever form. We don’t consume eggs that are significantly older than one month, but that’s pretty much our only safeguard.
