Do I need to wash my eggs?
Yes and no! If the eggs are dirty and have mud or poo on them they will need to be wiped clean, otherwise there is no need to wash them. Fresh eggs have a cuticle or “bloom” which allows oxygen exchange from outside the egg for a chick to grow but prevents bacteria from getting inside and washing will remove this protection, therefore if your eggs are soiled wipe them clean with Nettex Poultry Sanitiser and Egg Wash but do not rinse.
