So water itsself will wash off the bloom? Probably another crazy question, how does the mixture not wash anything off?

Have been considering water glassing eggs for a bit, and this is probably the dumbest question but what is considered an unwashed egg? Like just rinsing them off with water? Or like using soap? Thanks in advance!

I wasnt sure how to add on to another thread or if I even could but Whether my rooster had mereks or botulism, is it safe for us to even consume the eggs that the girls lay with them still acting perfectly fine? We have been tossing everything ever since everything occured. I was told from a...

I was aware that it was risky, had a conversation with my husband about it but we were also a bit desperate at the time because our last rooster had passed as well, our buff orpington became depressed and stopped laying and wouldn't move unless it was to eat, drink or take a bath. They had them...

Is that something he could have recovered from? I just feel extremely guilty not knowing 100% what...
