[@soraite9775]

Did you know that over here in europe/germany eggs, even from big egg laying farms, arent washed at all so when you open up your tray of eggs in the supermarket to find some feathers glued to the eggs or some bird poop isnt uncommon? Afaik the reason behind that is that eggs have a natural layer on them that protects them and on top of that this layer extends the shelf life of the eggs a lot, at least that is what a farmer once told me. So in good ol' europe you dont find washed eggs in your supermarket unless they are already precooked.

[@meanwhilebackonthehobbyfarm]

I never wash our eggs. It shortens their shelve lives. Also by using the chemicals to wash them they no longer are organic eggs. I just make sure I always have clean materials in the nesting boxes.

Hooold on a minute Morgan. I highly recommend using straw NOT wood shavings for bird bedding. The primary reason being, sawdust. My birds used to wheeze and have lung problems from having a sawdust floor, we ended up having to clear it out. They all got better immediately. Just my personal experience, if your birds seem to do fine on it, then cool! But if they start to sound wheezy, maybe get them away from the shavings.

Beyond that, the conversion is not as simple mathematically as distance or weight, so you kinda just get a feel for it. It'd really be great if every country could just get with the same program.

[@ahfgebla5379]

By washing the eggs, you remove the natural coating eggs have (protects the chicks when eggs are incubated). To keep your eggs longer and avoid salmonella, washed eggs must be kept in a fridge until they are consumed. Clean nesting boxes for chickens should prevent your eggs to be dirty. It is another story for ducks…

[@KatharineOsborne]

Here in the UK eggs are not washed and are not kept in the fridge (I keep them in the fridge as I was raised in Canada and it weirds me out not to refrigerate them). The laying birds themselves are vaccinated so that there is no risk of salmonella. I think that’s pretty much true of most of Europe.

[@pamelaremme38]

@@mountainwench7763 YES. Eggs need to be refrigerated after washing. By washing you remove the "bloom." The protective coating on the egg. This coating keeps the egg safe from exterior bacteria for the possible baby chick inside. However....when you get a weeks worth of rain it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to keep your nesting boxes clean 24/7. You do the best you can and if they get "dirty" that is when you wash them.

You could use a pipe warmer, and wrap it around the hose going to the tub, and then wrap it around the tub. It would prevent the water from freezing in the hose and the tub full of drinking water. Just gotta make sure you dont get it too hot that they won't drink it. You would also insulate it to protect it from the weather. It will add to your electricity bill, so that's something you'd have to see if it's worth the cost for you. Also, for the goose house, I think heating lamps would help greatly. It would also help keep the snow from building up ontop of the shelter as a bonus.

[@Sarafimm2]

I think it's either the fact he can't put a water pipe out to the cattle (yet) and/or an electrical line to heat the water to stop it from freezing. Even if the water doesn't freeze, he still has to bucket it out to the cattle.

That's a cool idea Jonathan, I think you can get rich if you invented a battery powered heat tape inside a floating pipe that'll keep the frost from forming ice over a little area. Portable, rechargeable and potentially life saving. I love it!

[@simdoughnut659]

They make both electric and solar powered trough heaters for this very purpose. It's a little heater that sits in a basket and keeps the ice melted. I was kind of surprised that Morgan didn't already know about them. I've never raised cattle, but I used trough heaters to keep a hole in the ice for venting waste gases on Koi ponds. They are incredibly effective, cost almost nothing to run, and I've used them in sub zero temps.

[@sueoldbirdstone9024]

We buy our eggs dirty here in the uk. So in the shops they are just on the shelf, not in fridges. Course, we now have very few 'battery' eggs, we're almost all free range, so we expect a little poop and the odd feather!

[@tamsel814]

Netherlands here, but I think its similar enough since we also don't need to put our eggs in the fridge. However these eggs are still cleaned to some extend. At least more so then farm bought eggs

[@gislaw1324]

Same, uk here too! It’s cause the minute you wash em you take off a layer that protects the inside of the egg from bacteria an stuff, washed eggs are more easily infected with salmonella and cant last longer unrefrigerated! Edit- I used to have chickens as a teen and I'd just rub mess off if it's bad. You can eat eggs raw if they're not washed, but I wouldn't risk a washed egg due to salmonella. Afaik I've never had salmonella and I like raw egg on hot noodles and rice :)

[@calugorron]

Same here in Switzerland, eggs have a natural coating on the shell that protects the inside

[@JerryB507]

The Government in the USA says we have to wash eggs that are for sale, to keep them sanitary. They completely deny the fact that washing them makes them more susceptible to bacterial contamination.

[@alishatrainor]

I absolutely love learning from your journey! There’s an old saying that was passed down from my family, “a betegek megeszik a tiszta tojást”. The sick eat the clean eggs. We typically don’t fully wash the eggs because it disrupts the bloom coating - we were taught that it’s better to wash eggs before cooking because they stay fresh longer and keep the eggs from growing bacteria in your fridge or higher chance for salmonella.

[@JuFated]

It's not perfect but it seems the machine has helped a lot by at least getting most of the poop out. Given the machine seems to built for chicken eggs, it's not as rough with duck eggs that seems to have more sticky poop in them. Some duck eggs need some extra elbow grease but yea it seems great 'u'/

Would love to know the profit margin on this thing. It's more or less a repurposed shoe scrubber.

[@rubynicholl3913]

You need wiggle wire to hold down your plastic and it should be taught because if it’s not the wind will just rip it apart. You also need fans or a fan in there to keep circulation going otherwise the smell is going to be overpowering. Just from experience not trying to tell you what to do. Really like your pod cast

[@Sarafimm2]

I thought the big hoop house was supposed to have a door at both ends so I expected there to be a door at both ends of the smaller hoop house. Opening both doors during the day or at least the afternoon would allow for the air flow to clear out the ammonia and help dry out the straw and wood chips. I don't know if the birds are stupid enough to try to sit on top of a fan or not, but most fans for such places are built into the wall structure. I think Morgan needs to do a better job with his end walls really.

[@fjuedes]

Instead of buying wood shavings, try to find an arborist in your area. When they remove trees, they chip them up and usually give them away for free. They would have to pay to dump them into a landfill, so it is a win-win situation for you and the arborist.

The tidal lagoon boasts islands for breeding, acres of roving space and a 3.5 mile trail covered with canadian goose sh1t. It was a paradise-like environment. Each time I went out, I fed the geese before my run. Eventually, they all knew me by sight and would run at me, excited for a helping. I loved the contact. They'd tug at my clothes, nuzzle me and when in sandals, stomp on my feet with flippers (amazing). It was magical. I had bonds with certain flocks. A certain flock of ducks with unique attributes seemed to keep an eye on me. Each time I jogged, the flock followed me while they paddled, from one side of the lake to the next. Eerie! I felt involved and a part of their community. To this day, birds & dogs mean so much to me, as a "quiet type" who doesn't want to stop dissociating. Bring so much peace!!

I'm another viewer living in a country (Turkey) where unwashed eggs are the norm...but as another commenter mentioned, the USDA requires eggs to be washed before they are sold. While the contraption maybe fun to use, you might want to consider the water usage (and energy used to heat the water) when determining whether this is a good solution. How about a soak, scrub and rinse instead...until you are operating a huge side business of selling hundreds of eggs, this might be kinder to the environment.

Question: you mentioned that the eggs already looks quite well with the pre-soak. So maybe try that without the machine and compare the time and quality of the wash to the machine assisted? I can't tell for certain but I have a feeling that you scrubbing the eggs after a pre-soak might be more cost efficient (machine cost + water energy).
