To be grossed out by poo on supermarket bought chicken eggs?

[Hulahoop32]

My oh thinks I’m mad 🤣 Decided to do some baking with my 4yo today and couldn’t find a single egg without poo on it! I read you shouldn’t wash them so just used the cleanest one I could find but now I’m reading all about how dangerous chicken poo is (I’ve been on furlough a long time and my brain isn’t operating rationally anymore. )

What does everyone else do?

Tremendously reassuring. British animal welfare standards are the highest in the world. Making it illegal to wash eggs means hens are kept clean and better cared for - it not upto their wings in shit.

I thought I’d open the thread to find that some filthy fucker had shit on the floor in Sainsbury’s
Me too. Strangely disappointed.

Not for long. All to allow the Americans to fuck us right up the cloaca.

Having seen inside more than one chicken farm in the UK, if British animal welfare standards are "the highest in the world", I can't begin to imagine what happens in other countries.

Your brian isn't operating because your are on furlough?

Devastating news for all the women of Hull

I thought I’d open the thread to find that some filthy fucker had shit on the floor in Sainsbury’s

So did I in all honesty. Thought it might be a dirty protest about a lack of ripe avocados or something

I mentioned on another thread, but I was so dismayed to see that Tesco still sell eggs from imprisoned caged hens. So do Lidl - quite probably the others as well.

The price difference isn't even that great - maybe 20-30p per dozen.

You can wash or wipe the shell before you use it just don't do it then store the eggs as washing them removes the protective coating and leaves the shell porous.

Both m and f have cloaca Spartacus
Don't tell Daniel Radcliffe, as his brain will explode, and he'll think it means Roosters can lay eggs.

Absolutely no harm in washing the shell just before using. Neat washing up liquid works fine and then rinse thoroughly. Then hand wash - of course.

The theory of not washing eggs is only for storage. Supposed to make the eggs permeable and last for a shorter time.

@Hulahoop32

did you know a cockerel can shag every hen in sight several times a day (including before breakfast) and STILL not fertilise the eggs effectively?

Sounds like my ex husband. Shagged everything in sight but was very fortunate not to impregnate anyone, particularly me

Are you trying to encourage us to use American eggs? This won't work we love our shitty eggs over here keep you chlorinated chickens to yourself

My eggs always have something on them and i really don’t care. They’re fresh and i know where they come from. And that’s not from the supermarket even.

I would just like to thank this thread for sparking off a comic strip. I haven't thought of a good gag for one for weeks then, halfway through this thread, Bingo! a one page gag popped into the desert wastelands of my imagination.

Thank you, one and all.

I'm with your OH on this one, get a grip!

How is an egg a period? A period is the shedding of the uterine lining. It only happens to female mammals. All that blood isn't an egg. Though I suppose the tiny bit of matter that was the unfertilised egg must be in there somewhere, you wouldn't even notice if that was all you were passing.

I've never understood what people are on about who call chicken eggs a 'chicken's period'. They obviously want to make it sound disgusting, but it makes no sense whatsoever, birds don't have wombs.

birds don't have wombs
I can assure you that this old bird does.

@PuffinShop It's just an equivalent... Nobody is suggesting that en egg is the shedding of a bird's uterine lining.

Sorry - do eggs come from chickens' bottoms? I thought chickens had something similar to a vagina?

I thought that too but then I’m also a city dweller!

@SuperlativeScrubs

Thank you *@Givingup123456* - Until today I had not seen images of an egg exiting a hens body, and I had no idea it was the same orifice.

Now I am off down a chicken anatomy rabbit hole!

If you want to go on a really wild ride, have a look into the reproductive anatomy of ducks. Males have a rapidly ejecting 12 inch corkscrew penis and the females have a corkscrew vagina - that twists in the opposite way.

I always use an antibac wipe over my eggs especially if they have shit on. No thank you 😂

Drakes are from Mars: Ducks are from Australia.

You anti-bac your eggs before you use them, and then throw away the bit you've just cleaned?

I think you'll find that ducks are from the East Midlands and Drake is from Canada.

Did you know that if you buy middle class eggs from farmers markets the hens very kindly don’t shit on them?
