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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
