I also donate many of the eggs to others. I always say "Thank You" to my girls for doing such a wonderful job. Always thankful. :yes: :purpleflower: My chickens are laying so many eggs I put a sign at the end of the drive, I now have 4 repeat customers. I also donate many of the eggs to others.

I clean my eggs. I won't have dirty eggs around when I'm baking. I don't want to crack open an egg into a cake and worry about a bit of dirt (or worse!) falling in my mixing bowl. You should NOT clean eggs if you're going to incubate them because they do have a protective coating you don't want to wash off, but for kitchen use, I absolutely wash mine!

How do you handle your eggs? I used to get some farm-fresh eggs from a friend and sometimes they had chicken gunk on them, but I heard that you really shouldn't wash them as there is a protective covering on them that helps keep them fresh. But the chicken gunk just wasn't very appetizing. I know the first step would be to make sure your nesting boxes (or wherever they're laying) should be clean, obviously. Yours all look so nice and clean. Can you elaborate? Suzanne, those eggs are lovely.

We had an egg sizer that went by weight, each egg was weighed individually but I only used it when I couldn't eyeball them. Upon seeing today's farm photo I recalled doing that many years ago. thanks for the memories Suzanne :heart: those eggs are beautiful. when I was a little girl it was my job to sort the eggs by size and put them in the egg cases for sale at the local farmer’s exchange.
