A guy at work told me his wife is convinced the brown eggs are fertilized and she won’t eat them

The eggshell color depends on the breed of the hen. Generally speaking, white shell eggs come from hens with white feathers, while brown shell eggs are produced by hens with brown feathers.

FACT: With farm raised eggs, don't wash them until time to crack them and they don't have to be refrigerated and will last a long time setting on the counter.

Eggshells are porous, so when you wash them you're removing that natural barrier. Unwashed eggs can sit on your kitchen counter at room temperature for a couple of weeks and they'll still be edible. But once they've touched water, they need to be refrigerated.
