That isn’t entirely correct, the layer of mucous around the egg is called the bloom - it isn’t shit that protects the egg. The bloom actually protects the egg from bacteria that live in the chicken shit, and washing them removes that layer of mucous . Even still, the likelihood of getting salmonella from a supermarket egg is like 1 in 20k or something like that.
Did you think In was suggesting the shit itself is somehow protective? I didn’t assume that people would assume that, my mistake.
I thought the implication was obvious.
implication
noun
the conclusion that can be drawn from something although it is not explicitly stated.
Like if I said “I’ve had a very sensual weekend. Your mom says to say hi.” You could probably understand the implication and wouldn’t just think your mom has accidentally rang me up as a wrong number only to say hello to you, would you?
Yeah. The presence of shit shows they’re not washed.
Unwashed eggs don’t need refrigeration.
No-one else thought I was claiming shit has protective properties, so perhaps you should consider that you might be mistakenly in who has expressed what incorrectly.
It isn’t my fault that your literary skills aren’t as good as your chicken farming skills.
Okay imagine you and a good friend often get to go cruising in your mom’s car when she’s not using it. One day you tell them, “Mom’s gonna be home all weekend, that’s why we can go to the party we didn’t have a ride to”.
But huh. Wait a minute? How does your mom staying at home mean you suddenly get to go somewhere? Huh? Your friend wouldn’t definitely be mighty confused and ask you to try expressing your thoughts more clearly, wouldn’t they? Right? Becsuse how on Earth would your mom sitting on a sofa mean your travel problem is gone? She’s sitting. Still. At home. How is it relevant?
Lots of people in the US have backyard chickens and their eggs have shit on them. A lot of us still refrigerate them though (I do). Once you’re raised with it, it’s a hard mindset to break.
Oh I refrigerate my eggs as well. I don’t have my own though.
The shit itself isn’t protective, but having it there is a sign the eggs aren’t washed like they do in the US egg industry, which removes some sort of protection from the exterior of the shell, which is why US eggs often need refrigeration.
My eggs have chickenshit on them and thats’ why they don’t need refrigeration like you do in the US.
Also, I can eat them raw if I like. Finnish health authorities sign off on that.

Source: I have chickens.
Lol I never claimed it is.
But if there’s shit on the egg, it strongly implies they haven’t been washed and thus have an intact bloom.
Not in Finland. That high percentages, that is.
Oh, my mistake then.

Idk man, look at the words you write after you write them - don’t expect me to read between the lines of your incorrectly expressed thought.
Yeah. The presence of shit shows they’re not washed.

Yeah I know about the coating and the US washing method, but that’s probably still good info for someone out there.
Aussie supermarkets sometimes refrigerate eggs and sometimes not. No idea what’s going on with them.
I just spray paint mine. Last for months.
My eggs do last for months without going bad and they’re not refrigerated.
How long do your eggs last?
Also if you don’t know whether eggs are bad or not, see if they float. If they float, there’s sulphur gas in them and they’re no good anymore.
If they sink though, even if they sort of bob upwards from the bottom but still are at the bottom, they’re good.
