    I live in a country where they don’t boil and bleach the duck placenta off of the egg so you can just sort of keep them on the floor outside of the refrigerator for days and it doesn’t matter it’s fine

      boil and bleach the duck placenta off of the egg

      What on earth.

      Is this a non-US thing? I’ve never heard of this practice and I worked for a farmer that raised chickens and sold eggs.

        Not boiled but “washed” probably with bleach.

        Eggs are porous. Birds leave a coating on them that blocks the pores and prevents bacteria getting in but washing the eggs removes that protective coating.

        Pretty sure you do this in the US but not every country does.
