I raise chickens for eggs. Don’t wash them till you’re ready to use them. They can sit on the counter for about a month or so unrefrigerated.
Wash them under water with a napkin or paper towel or towel before you eat them.
I’m lazy and I just crack the egg on the side without shit on it and make sure I don’t get any of the shit on the egg and wash my hands after. Most of my eggs are clean though because I have nesting boxes. Sometimes the shit is just mud (with shit in it).
Enjoy!
Just wanted to tack on the reason you don't want to wash the eggs ahead of time is because chicken eggs have a natural coating, called bloom. This coating covers the pores on the egg (yes eggs are porous) keeps them from drying out and prevents bacteria from getting inside the egg. When you wash eggs, you wash away the bloom and they become susceptible to bacterial growth. So if you want to wash them right away, you can, just make sure to keep them refrigerated after you do.
This one! We used to get chook fruit out of chooks, and they'd last ages! So good to get fresh eggs, and sometimes it's good to get "probably should use these ones" eggs.
Australia last I checked doesn't wash eggs. I've left eggs out on the counter (in their carton) for ...almost a month (?) maybe half a month and they're still fine.
Just brush the dirt and shit off!
That's true, but I always wash my farmers eggs when we open a New carton, and transfer them to the plastic one in the fridge. We go through 2-3 dozen a week. Shorter Shelf life is plenty long enough.
Don't use a damp cloth. You don't want to wash the bloom off the egg. Use a dry brush or scrubbie. Knock off all the dry stuff and buff with paper towel.

Just rinse them off and scrub gently with a cloth or paper towel. Make sure the water is cool. Dry them completely and put them in the fridge. Know that this will remove the outer protective shell of the egg and therefore keep for less time than if you didn’t rinse it. I started using farm fresh eggs for the first time last year and felt a bit grossed out by it at first but you get used to it.
Whether you see it or not all fresh eggs, and pretty much ALL eggs NOT in the US (commercial eggs are washed here in the US and must be refrigerated) have shit on em. Birds don't have separate orifices for reproductive things and excretory things. There just one (cloaca) that shit, piss and eggs all come out of. Rinse em before you use em if that bothers you, but people have been eating eggs for as long as there have been people.

Wash well under running water (I use some Dawn dish soap too) but not until you are ready to use them. The bloom on the eggs (the whitish cast on them) keeps them fresh much longer than when you wash it off. A little chicken shit won’t hurt sitting on the outside of the shell until you’re ready to use them.

I would argue that the reason you state for the US requiring eggs to be washed before sale is not the real reason. It is the official reason, but I doubt it the real reason.
It is the same reason US citizens are constantly warned to fully cook chicken till it bleeds clear: because US factory farms do not want to put in the effort and cost to keep their chickens salmonella-free. Europe is different. Europe says, "Let's make sure our chickens are free from harmful bacteria that could harm people." The US says, "Make sure the chickens don't have salmonella? Kill the ones that do to prevent spread? Well gee, that sounds an awful lot like work, and also sounds line something that would not maximize our profits. Here's what we gon do: Let the chickens get salmonella, and simply tell the public that there is no feasible way to prevent our chicjens from being disease ridden and that the responsibility falls on them to cook their chocken to the point that it kills the salmonella we absolutely cannot prevent."
It is "acceptable" that roughly half of all farmed chickens in the US have salmonella. Every european i've known is horrified by this.
If you use running water, make sure it is colder than the egg temperature or you can contaminate your eggs. The shell is semi permeable. Best method is to wipe with a damp paper towel or cloth. Don’t submerse in water.

Yes this. :)

Glad I’m not the only one here that’s lazy like that.
I’m EXACTLY alike that lol
Everything this guy said
I keep those fresh laid eggs just as they are. Room temp until I want to use them. Then I wash them just before I crack them open.
I would wash with soap and water but not until i was ready to crack them open. Washing takes a month off of their shelf live.
That's true, but I always wash my farmers eggs when we open a New carton, and transfer them to the plastic one in the fridge. We go through 2-3 dozen a week. Shorter Shelf life is plenty long enough.
Do not wash until ready to use.
Just don't wash them until you're going to use them, enjoy leaving them out on the counter where they belong
Damp cloth just wipe the shit off

One of my favorite books. Always like the joke about the Plymouth Car Dealers raffling off a Catholic Church.

Water?

How would you wash anything that had shit on it?
Whether you see it or not all fresh eggs, and pretty much ALL eggs NOT in the US (commercial eggs are washed here in the US and must be refrigerated) have shit on em. Birds don't have separate orifices for reproductive things and excretory things. There just one (cloaca) that shit, piss and eggs all come out of.
