A lot of our eggs have a fair amount of poo, dirt, etc on them, especially as our chickens have not learnt to sleep and lay in the 'correct' places!
I am wondering what is the best way to clean off the dirt and poo?
At first I was using a dry piece of kitchen towel to brush off the worst of the dirt but this doesn't always work wonders. My husband has sometimes been washing them with water but I hear this is not ideal unless you're going to use the egg straight away.
Any advice? I'd like to give some eggs away to family as we're starting to have a surplus now, but I'd feel bad giving them a box of dirty eggs!
