re: Tell me about raising chickens

Eggs can stay unrefrigerated for a month or more actually. Couple of days are def fine! Don't wash with soap. Just wash lightly with water to get trash off. Eggs have a natural protective coating that protects from harmful Bactria like salmonella. Our good il FDA requires eggs be washed in chemicals that remove that coating. Hence the salmonella scare. In Europe there is no washing and no refrigeration of eggs.
